This past summer, Linda Doran and I have paddled across Great Slave Lake and then Elizabeth Mayberry and I have continued doing a loop (1000km and 70 portages) into the headwaters of the Hanbury and Thelon Rivers, and through a new ThaiDene Nene Park. We explored rarely travelled areas such as the eskers of Mary Frances River and a portage through the MacDonald Fault.
Since this was the first northern trip for both Linda and Elizabeth (age 17) and a very challenging one, I will include some notes about our preparation, and my guidance throughout our time out there.
