| 説明 | Vancouver Island is big but most of us Brits have difficulty grasping it. You see, we are brought up with school atlases that have the whole of Canada to a single page. The atlas therefore equates the second largest country on earth on the same scale as, say, Wales. So, we grow up thinking Canada is 500x smaller than it really is.Hence when we were planning to visit Vancouver Island, my mind's eye equated it to a bijoux atoll. Whereas in reality it is 290 miles long (cf England is 360) and, aside from the bottom right corner, pretty sparsely populated and largely unspoilt.Having said this, it is perhaps ironic that a popular spot is a reasonably small patch (150 hectares) of first growth forest. It is known as Cathedral Grove as the huge branchless vertical trunks are like the columns of an old church. Old growth Douglas Firs abound, huge 200' trees, each over 300 years old. It isn't ironic that this is popular - convenient, beautiful and well laid-out. However, it was pointed out to me that vast swathes of the whole island used to be like this before it was systematically logged.Anyway, tree-hugging issues aside, I loved this place. We just don't have trees of this age, size and stature in the UK. |
