I have a better description of the hike in a book.

tells us that you can ask the greyhound driver to stop in between scheduled stops and we can also flag down a bus if we want to get on. This comes right after Britannia Beach which is a regular greyhound stop so there should not be much of an issue. Although this is clearly stated in the website I am not sure. I wanted to check with Greyhound but they are not picking up the call. If someelse gets through to them do tell me. If we reach the greyhound stop and see a part of our plan falling apart we might just do another hike. I don't think we need to purchase our tickets in advance.
Our aim should be to leave by the greyhound bus at pacific spirit station at 8 in the morning and I plan to take the 5:50 bus back from brittania beach. (that is let us include that in the itenary). The frequency is about 2 hrs.
By the way I am an absolute novice at hiking. So everyone is welcome. There will be 2 more people.
If we are not going to be too many people and one has a car that will be very cool.
