On May 31 this year, a group of Bentley motorcars (including 20 or so W.O.s) will leave Vancouver, British Columbia to cover 5000 miles of spectacular countryside over the next 25 days.

Organiser of the tour David Cohen talks of a route that covers territory featuring "mighty snow capped mountains, rushing rivers of clear sparkling water, and pristine forests teeming with a wide variety of animals from grizzly bears to moose, mountain sheep and numerous other smaller animals... One will have an opportunity to stand on glaciers and travel down paved roads where the only other humans will be your fellow participants."

The tour will pass through Whistler — the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics, the Canadian Rockies, Whitehorse and historic town of Dawson City in the Yukon, where time seems to have stood still since the Gold Rush days, as well as Anchorage, Alaska. The group will sample the Inside Passage by ferry on the way to the finish in picturesque Victoria.

The Cohens have been up to their ears in preparations for the tour — to Adele Cohen it is like organising dozens of weddings back to back! And then we asked if they would still consider new participants by the time this Newsletter reached our readers. "If anyone still wishes to join they should get hold of us very soon" is what David had to say. The big issue, it appears, would be getting the cars shipped to Vancouver on time.

So if you have adventure on your mind visit the 'Bentley Alaska Tour' website or e-mail David.
