The great es’cape’-Part 1
Part 1
(Credit to Barb for the title)
Finally, we can head out for some much-needed R&R. This year we are still treading carefully after all the covid restrictions etc and have decided to stay in Nova Scotia and head for Cape Breton! Fortunately, our backyard is incredibly beautiful, and we don’t have to go too far for a great adventure!
We are travelling in a convoy of three vehicles comprising of:
1. Ram Dually 3500 – King Bundutop, added canopy and room and square back bunduawn with walls.
2. Ford F150 – Standard Bundutop, added canopy and half wing bunduawn.
3. Landrover Defender x 110 (2022) Standard Bundutop
All three vehicles are totally rigged out for off grid travelling and exploring., with fridges, travel ovens, hot water systems, solar panels, dual battery setups, kayaks and so much more.
We head out tomorrow for two weeks, to explore the hidden gems of Cape Breton.
Dropping off our two rotties early and head towards Cape Breton, meeting up with our great mates on the way up. First night stay not planned, in fact nothing is set in stone, let’s just see what hidden gems we will come across.
As we go along, we will be posting hopefully every two days or so if we have reception and hope you follow along and enjoy this adventure with us…
Thanks to Landrover Halifax for their excellent customer service and help getting me my Defender before our trip! The best customer service and what a fantastic rig! I just love it… contact them for your defender 🙂
Many thanks go out to Isaak Cape Breton Overlanding for helping us find some great spots in Cape Breton. He offers a self drive vehicle and will be offering tours too. He is extremely knowledgeable on Cape Breton so if you are heading up their way give him a shout!

Day 5 – to Kegashka we go!
Our day started early and as we packed up the black flies and mosquitos literally ate us alive! Could not get out of there fast enough.
We stopped off at a look-off point called Baie-Johan-Beetz and literally found thousands of blueberries and had a nice early morning feast 😊 Wind blown but what a stunning day!
A long drive about 450kms through valleys that looked very similar to the Labrador tundra. At least three old style snowmobiles that seemed to abandoned along the way on the trails for some reason.
Finally we arrived at Kegashka, literally the end of the road, one restaurant in this town – surprise it was not open on Monday or Tuesday fortunately we had our own lunch so stopped near the sign to eat and change the mud flaps on our truck as the gravel was once again flying up onto our trailer, fine talcum dust was filtering into the trailer!
Kegashka is a very quaint fishing village with a population of only 120.
In winter there is a trail called the white trail which is a snowmobile takes you all the way to Blanc Sablon. 😊
There are many snowmobile bridges here the most famous is the one across the Manicouagan River, in the Baie-Comeau area. At 213 metres long (700 feet), it is the highest snowmobile bridge in the world! The trails here are exceptional and so are the rivers
There are also endless beautiful rivers for those keen on fishing, this is prime country!
Just a little more info to keep you on your toes. 🤣
The awesome foursome at the end of the road!
Heading back we started looking for a camp site for the night, the wind was howling and beach sand was flying.
We went down many side windy dusty roads and came across this Inukshuk cut out of granite, which must have been at least 10 feet tall, pretty cool but no campsite to be found.😊
Stopped at an Natashquan (means where one hunts for bear) another small village population of about 265. We went into the “liquor” store to fuel up 😂 although these stores carry literally everything. I ran to snap this sign which was pretty cool, getting sand blasted in the process from the flying beach sand.
Pretty neat to think we were in Blanc Sablon last year!
Late afternoon and finally a campsite!Camping de la Plage at Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan.
Lovely spot right on the beach, stunning night and even better chats around the fire! Nothing better than going to sleep listening to the waves crashing on shore!

Where in the world …Wild Coast Tents!
A Wild Coast Roof Top Tent on the Wild Coast Of Africa!
Fantastic isn’t it..?!
We shipped our first roof top tent to South Africa and wouldn’t you know it, it ended up on the wild coast of South Africa this weekend!
Coming from South Africa myself this just thrills me beyond words 🙂 especially since there are so many roof top tent manufacturing companies in SA.
We are so proud of our roof top tents, which we have improved by leaps and bounds since 2012. Our product is simply great and although they are made with the Canadian market in mind, they are now tried and tested in South Africa too.
We stand behind our products 100%, our roof top tent customers we are proud to call our friends
Beautiful rig below now loaded up with the best roof top tent in Canada!
Stunning scenery from the Wild Coast of South Africa, a perfect place for
Any guess where in the world the next one is heading….. stay tuned for the next “where in the world wild coast tents” 🙂
