A fantastic book for the automobile-deprived,
By
This review is from: BC car-free: Exploring southwestern British Columbia without a car (Paperback)
Being a poor student without a car, the call of the wild has always been difficult to manage. However, upon reading this book my eyes were opened to the possibilities of exploring the surrounding wilderness without having to rely on a car.Mr. Grover speaks from years of personal experience and he writes down to the smallest detail, which is very helpful when you are visiting a place for the first time or are inexperienced. He gives many hints and tips of things of particular interest to look out for and seems to know all the trails and areas like the back of his hand. On top of this, he provides plenty of information on bus and ferry schedules, fees, and what routes NOT to take. Mr. Grover has a humourous and down to earth writing style, which makes for a very accessible book about our very accessible wilderness.

Car Free and Care Free,
By susan dawkins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: BC car-free: Exploring southwestern British Columbia without a car (Paperback)
It's about time someone made it easy for all us carless ( and proud of it ) people to enjoy the great outdoors. Mr. Grover's book leaves no stone unturned when it comes to useful information. He's put in maps for every area described, transportation schedules, detailed descriptions of trails, prices, historical information, drawings and a sense of humor rarely found in travel/guide books. Obviously a lot of research went in to make this book so complete and so far the trips I've taken using this guide have been spot on! Buying this book was the best $20 I've spent in a long time. I hope Mr. Grover decides to write similar guides for the rest of the province and country. With environmental problems being a concern for a large number of people in this country it is refreshing to see a real simple solution for a change. Good on you Mr. Grover.

Grover does a great job of detailing the ins and outs of outdoor adventure in B.C., for those who don`t have vehicles or choose not to. Very timely.

Great Book!,
By Tod Wong - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: BC car-free: Exploring southwestern British Columbia without a car (Paperback)
I used the book last weekend to check out the caves on Vancouver Island. I had never even heard of them before. Too Qool! BC Car-Free was right on in its description and details. Next week I'm going to do my first kayaking trip using the book.
