SUMMARY:Maritime Masterclasses: A West Coast Trail Preparation Primer
DESCRIPTION:Prepare for your West Coast Trail adventure with experienced hiker\, Chantal Webb! Learn what to pack and what to leave behind\, get insider tips for booking the trail\, and gain essential hiking knowledge\, including trail etiquette\, wildlife safety\, and navigation techniques. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a first-timer\, this primer ensures you’re ready for a successful and unforgettable journey.  \n\n\n\nThis program does not require registration\, but you can register to ensure your spot. It is included in the cost of admission or with a MMBC membership. \n\n\n\nInstructor Chantal Webb has been a runner her entire life. After 28 years\, she decided to offset some of her running with hiking\, to reduce the strain on her joints.  \n\n\n\nBeing the type of person who jumps into everything with both feet\, the first hike she wanted to do was an 8-week\, 1\,000 km section of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). After planning and training for a year and a half\, she hiked for 6 weeks and achieved 700 kilometers.  \n\n\n\nChantal was happy to find that she loved hiking – with the scenery\, challenge and occasional solitude – and learned a lot! She returned to the PCT last year for 3 weeks and 350 kms and will return this year for a month and 500 kms. She hiked the West Coast Trail last summer and really enjoyed the difference in the experience from dry California to muddy Vancouver Island.
