@DriveBC_VI As a visitor from the UK I was shocked by the lack of information. After having to find last minute accommodation for five people last night (in just one room) we got up at 4.30am to complete chaos in a line which started at Port Alberni. In the end we took the detour.

#ExpeditionsWeek2023 over and out! What an incredible week of action-packed adventures across the UK and beyond, which have truly put the girls' resilience, team-work and stamina to the test - and they have all smashed it! #FearlessGirls #FHSSpirit
