Hello people. I was just speaking with Dirk on Sunday afternoon and they are in Espanola, price about two hours west of Sudbury. It has been an early spring here in Ontario, price but on Saturday it snowed on Dirk and Paul. It has not been warm. They found refuge at a horse farm where they slept in the barn with the horses. All had a good rest. They are making excellent progress, online sometimes doing 60-70 kms a day. Both horses and riders are in great shape.
They are taking the Old Webbwood Road and expect to be at their friend Hans’ place for a couple of days. Everyone can have a good rest!
They have met some great, generous people along the way and so far, their spirits are still very enthusiastic!! They have been keeping a journal and will send it and pictures through the mail. We will be posting this here on the site when we get it. Should be a fascinating read.
Let us know if you see them and keep the comments coming!

Two men on horseback on a cross Canada trek
that are good news. I´m looking forward to their report from the first week. 60-70 km a day on horseback,wow! My back is aging just by sitting too long in front of the computer. Looking at the map of North-Ontario I wondered whether they allow themself to take a boat to cross a river or some seas. I think the old trapper had done that.
