I spend my weekends hanging out with a group of men - don't judge me. they're the posse and they're some of the best friends i have in the world. we usually spend our saturdays going on ridiculously long walks around vancouver but on this particular weekend we found ourselves staying with friends in sechelt and i figured it was the ideal time to break out the zufall. with five of us, it was going to be difficult to work out just how this was going to be decided, but the zufall gods were smiling on us and we ALL threw some form of NORTH, so that's the direction we were headed. as for distance, we added all our values together and delved into our high school math to work out the average. we decided to use zufall in the way that best fitted the group - it was a great talking point at breakfast and we were counting those kilometres loudly in the minivan as they edged towards nine. we decided to take some side roads to ensure the most obscure route possible. at PRECISELY 9 kilometres (ok, 9.1 if you're being pedantic) we found a dusty old overgrown parking lot complete with a rickety footpath sign at the far end. the path hadn't been used for some time and much of it was overgrown but we battled through briars and families of dragonflies and hiked along what turned out to be a long, circular route, taking us over crazy rocks, past beautiful coves and through dense undergrowth. we ate our picnic lunch on a rocky outcrop, perilously close to the crashing waves as the sun shot in and out of some extremely puffy clouds. i've still no idea exactly where we were (granted it was 9.1km in a northerly direction from sechelt) - but we came out, we were scratched, dirty and exhilarated.
