Recent trail updates from a couple of sources: Bedwell conditions on Club Tread; and Flower Ridge from Ron Otsu's blog Outdoor Solitude. (also check out his amazing photos!)

 At Paradise Meadows, contractors will be repairing some sections of the boardwalk within the next couple of weeks.

And final news, the Comox District Mountaineering Club just did the classic 27 km traverse of Forbidden Plateau: report here.
