Careful Robin.....that area of BC has a tendency to draw all the British in. Very few leave the area for some reason. I think it is the constant rain that makes them feel like they are at home, but that is only a guess. There is a mountain range that blocks it's view from where I am at.

If you have enough time in Vancouver, a drive out to the Point Grey Coastal Battery site might prove interesting. Two of the four emplacements are still there along with all the underground works.

And it that gets boring, you can walk to the cliff face and find a wooden stair case that leads down to the beach where the searchlight towers stand, in the middle of a popular nudist beach now.
