What are you guys doing for the summer?

I have a really flexible job in Vancouver so I'll be roadtripping around BC a lot. Any BC bros have suggestions of cool places to go? I'm geared up for pretty much any camping/backpacking, like hunting & fishing, just looking to have a great summer.

Spend almost everyday at the beach enjoying muh sun and muh ocean swimming. A couple weekend hiking and camping trips if lucky.
Wild camping isn't allowed and isn't there any wilderness so it's hard to do better if I don't go abroad.

Got 3 months work in the Channel Islands, am a tree surgeon, nice firm, lots of big machines and they do a fair bit of crane work so should get some good experience doing that. That should end round August and I'll hopefully have ~two weeks free then so will head off for a hike. Then if things all go to plan I'll jump over to Sweden to work till December. Not sure where to hike yet, but it's got to be Northern Europe as cba to fly anywhere.

Looking to do some camping and modify my FJ. I have a few weeks off in May and probably the whole month of July off from work. Crazy overtime and a fat tax refund have given me like 5 grand to fuck around with. I've been poor most of my life, but I got a corporate stooge job last year and the pay is pretty decent.

Currently trying to decide if I should keep it, work 12 hour days 6 days a week and make mad bank, or just stash a bunch of money and finally snap like that kid in that book who ate the moose and died in the school bus.

Might take down another section of the AT. Also car camp at the lake with the intent to fish and relax but just end up partying with the local rednecks instead. Probably cap the summer off with a bonfire or two to welcome in the Fall. Any of you /out/ists near 479? I'd be down to charge JO crystals if you wanna hit the lake.

I'm going to traverse across the Isle of Skye in Scotland. My parents are gonna drop me on one end and I'm gonna walk to the other. The route I plan on taking is probably going to be 60-70km.

Will hopefully climb the Old Man Storr and some various other sites. Will also do seaside cliff jumping.

I was looking it up the other day and its been the site of some major films:
Star Wars
Transformers
Alien Covenant

And most importantly the introduction scene of the Dark Knight Rises. I'm looking forward to scrounging around for plane crash cover ups.

Any requests on what I should do there? I might make a few videos/take photos and post em on here for the meme.

Its gonna be a free climb because I can't afford rope atm.
It's height is about 20m. Its gonna be hard and dangerous, although on one side it seems sloped so I could treat it like a ladder.

I've freeclimbed 10m cliffs but over water, so if I fell it was a soft landing. I've also done 5m cliffs. This 20m spire is gonna daunt the fuck out of me. Not sure if its safe enough to do. Spose I'll judge it on the day.

Not sure how it works as my wife is the cook. But i est plenty of food and dont even hit 2,000 calories a day and drink beer still. Its pretty gud.

/fit helped a little but makung fundamental changes is key. I shot for 1 pound a week and ive been 5 or 6 a month instead.

After i get under #200 i am making one of those 10 pound cheeseburgers off of google and frying that mutherfucker to celebrate.

Boating is the best way to get my GF to do outdoors stuff. She loves being outside, but doesn't really want to walk/hike/climb. So we take the boat. Doesn't matter how remote a spot we end up in, she enjoys the trip and once we arrive she loves it. It's comfy, and there are always good sexy times...

I'm a regular to a climbing club near my town. Its quite a nice wall, about 15m with some difficult overhangs, has a bouldering section too. I also climb when on holiday, my last one was in Switzerland involving some interesting routes. My favourite was called "The Chimney" where two faces of rock get close together and you have to squeeze up (like a chimney sweep) as theres no cracks in the rock.

Is that good enough experience anon?
