BC Parks begins work on Old Buck & Baden Powell, Seymour
Work is underway to improve conditions on Old Buck & the Baden Powell on Seymour. While the NSMBA is re-decking bridges, BC Park's crews remove danger trees on Old Buck.
Through a collaborative effort, re-routes have been proposed to lessen the grade and meander Old Buck through the adjacent forest to improve the user experience and seek sustainable, long term solutions to sections in which erosion is evident on sustained grades.
Work on BP has commenced to establish drainage and repair areas hardest hit by erosion. Work on Old Buck will begin when work on Baden Powell is completed this fall.

October 5th, 2013 – Circuit 8 TAP Trail Day
I woke up to a clear and cool morning on Saturday for my first TAP Trail Day on Circuit 8, with volunteers from BC Bike Race and Adera. The torch for this trail has been passed on to me from Matt Preston, a long time builder on the Shore and famous for his work on the Bridle Path, Sticks & Stones, and Slippery Salamander. Matt has been plugging away at Circuit 8 now for a couple of years, but his education and career has him on a stint up north for a couple years. Thanks for all your work over the years Matt, we'll make sure to work twice as hard until you get back!
Matt Preston on Forever After
Circuit 8 is a trail that's tucked away in the LSCR, about a mile up the paved path. Being a bit out of the way, not many people get up to it but it's a funky little loop, and can be a good 20 minute ride when you line up every part of it. I'll add it into my ride every once and a while, when I head over from Lynn Valley to ride the Seymour trails.
The vision for all the work on Circuit 8 over the past few years has been to "bring the singletrack back". Sections of the trail get really boggy in the wet, and over time the trail has gotton wider and wider as people try to avoid the puddles.
