Another page please.. Hi you wondering nephew.
This has been a wonderful trip for me. I feel like l laughed and tensed at your every turn ( glad l'm not you're mum reading this ) "don't panic" is under stated. I panicked. I also had to have another scotch and continue. Could not put the 'blog' down. Who knew. Loved it. Could say a lot more but you would think Aunt Sal shut up. So l will. Write MORE please. Its good for me. The solitude you endure amazes me. Spelling might be a little off. Due to alcolizim..
Of course you read Walden. I was looking for that book when we were in that used bookstore in Nelson! But I'd forgotten what it was called! I obviously should have asked you.
Been following your travels for a while now, found your observations of Canada interesting. You've been back home for a week now, ready to go traveling again yet? victoria, BC
How weird that when you read this you'll be back in the bosom of Melksham.
Have loved the blog even though to my shame I rarely comment.
will be good to see you and hear the highlights distilled from the whole trip.

Post Another great post Stu and look forward to the next instalment.
I see the cooler weather is moving into Canada, much the same here to be honest, so you're not missing much.
All the best,
Andy
Nice, Stu. I'm looking forward to seeing some good Quebec photos. And hey - you have to send me those photos of me with the axe and chainsaw!! (The wording of that last sentence makes me picture myself wielding both at the same time... I suppose if I wore the special orange pants it would be ok.. haha).
Snowboarding paradise... Well I thought it was a snowboarding paradise, but to be fair this was 6 years ago, so things will have changed. It did seem quite picturesque during the winter that i was there, but I am easily pleased......just give me loads of snow!!! Great pictures by the way. I do remember the Chateau, very unsightly and not at all in balance with the scenery and surroundings.
Haggered look! Ahh brilliant, that haggard look I remember so well! I see you're boyish face is suffering under the weight of that 'boy beard' you're growing!!!
Enjoying reading your blog entries no end, whilst I sit at my desk in my open plan office, several floors up in a sky scraper in central London, with shite weather outside, cold winter moving in....get the picture yet....you lucky lucky lucky boy!
Very jealous, keep up the writing!!! Andy.
PS. There is a distinct lack of comments around the 'ladeeez....' on your trip...are all Canadian women celibate?! Or is it because you don’t wash whilst you’re travelling...? You've not carried the 'holiest, of holy pants' with you, have you?!? I can see you need a shave; you scruffy bugger, but guess I that’s part and parcel of the travelling scene.... ;-)
Northern Exposure revisited Going to have to get out my atlas and find out where all these places are soon. Seeing the elk is sending me Northern Exposure flashbacks and the travelling rugged beardy look must help you blend in with the locals! Oh, and that photo of Maligne Canyon is fantastic. Frame it.
Keep on truckin' Janet
Lol!!! Hilarious, and feel for you mate!I remember some lonely stomach churning times in my brief hitching days oh so many moons ago. Keep the blogs coming, great stuff. Andy
Great start... Dude, cracking blog and will look forward to reading the other entries. Looks fantastic place, great weather (so far!) by the looks of things. All the best from a cloudy autumnal London. Andy
WOW WOW. Fantastic photos Stu. Sounds like sensory overload up there. Didn't realise how far north you were intending to go. Looks like all the way. Am very very envious. See you not at all soon. Janet
Haven't commented on rest of blog but it's great. Shows that you don't disappear of the face of the earth for months at a time.
1.30 in the afternoon? !!!!!!!!!! OMG - re: the off-his-face guy who picked you up. Have to confess I laughed hard reading it but must have been well scary. Think I'd have chanced opening the door and jumping into the ditch - though that probably hurts a lot more than it looks on the films. Loving the pics and keep writing x
Sounds as though it's been an adventure! It's been highly entertaining reading your blog. More please. Oh, and did you hear... England took back the Ashes? Hurray!
Hello. My name is Stu. I am travelling through Canada, and I've been talked into creating a blog by various people. I am still not sure this blogging thing is a good idea, and it takes ages... but maybe that's because I got carried away and wrote too much. I have tried to avoid the "then I went here, then I went there" sort of thing, and just relate the 'incidents', but so far I haven't done very well with that.
One other thing - it shows the most recent entries first, so if you want to start from the beginning, just click the 'First Entry' button below... :)... full info

I make soap and it really does not need to be that messy. I wouldn't say those pics demonstrate "best manufacturing practices"
