Event report for the 2017 New Brunswick Expedition Challenge.
After a year of conceptualising the event and countless kilometres of trail recon by East Coast Overland with the assistance of Explore The North and J. Diamond we were ready. August was the perfect month to run the NB Expedition Challenge (NBX 2017) here in New Brunswick. The vast swaths of mosquitoes that plague outdoor enthusiasts in the months of May and June have mostly died off, the swamps and mud pits of the spring rains have all but dried up and sun has had a chance to solidify the soft spring trails.
