Never thought I'd say this, but long live the Crown in Canada. By complete accident we stumbled across something so extraordinarily wonderful that it will transform our time in British Columbia, and all, apparently, because of the "Crown". Arriving late evening in the little town of Revelstoke, on the edge of the Columbia mountains, we were horrified to discover that every single campsite in town was full, and mostly full of horrendous RVs parked side by side in the manner of our neighbours from across the Limpopo. And so, in the best Zimbo fashion, we drove out of town in search of a spot to pitch our tents in the bush. Herself was rather sceptical of my enthusiastic efforts to drive down every little side road, and when, on the first track we followed, we saw a large NOTICE pinned to a tree, she was ready to give me the full force of her not inconsiderable I-told-you-so glares. Imagine our surprise and delight to find, on closer inspection, that the notice read:
"Crown Land. Camping is free, but please do not abuse by staying more than 14 days in any one site".
Now that's what I call civilised!
