Thank you, Mick, for these non-standard suggestions. Let me address just one point.
As you are well aware we tried long and hard to find some overnight camping along the “stretch” from Keats I and Gibsons to Sechelt and the Thormanby Is. The solution might be to simply accept a less-than-optimal bivouac-style camp on one of several beaches that are not directly overlooked by homes. The upland might be Private, but the foreshore is not, so camping seems feasible – at Neaps anyway. Won’t the neighbours complain? Perhaps, but you would be on the public intertidal strip, so the Regional District rules will not apply there (“No camping or overnight parking”) and I doubt you could be forced to move along. The polite/discrete way to do this is to gave no fires and to put up hammocks/tents only at dusk and take them down as early the next morning as practical. So this would not be for lazy, destination camping but simply and overnight stop when touring. Who is willing to try it?
