The hens teeth. Ockert Coramid Powerline Extreme has a breaking strain of 1/4 tonne but weighs just 1.5g per metre. The best kite line on the planet. Hard to find.
Today we walked atop the Malahat then drove over to the Kinsol Trestle. After a windy, rainy start to the day it cleared up beautifully so we jumped in the car and headed for the Malahat. We took the Shawnigan Lake road into Stebbings Road where we turned left southward up into the hills.
We drove in for 1.6km then turned left onto Goldstream Heights which goes another 6km right up to the top of the Malahat Range overlooking Saanich Inlet and Finlayson Arm.
If this is the proposed route for the Trans Canada Trail from Goldstream westward to join the existing trail section at Sooke Lake Road. Forget it! Who wants to cycle over this mountain range? No one.

This pole was put for the Winn-Dixie when it was built in the very early 90's. The store is now closed.
Took a similar shot in May 2014, which can also be viewed in my Photostream, different crop (both in the field and image!), slightly different position, different weather, and a different camera.
Last week I could watch the ongoing powerline contruction works near my office. These lines carry 380 kV when operating.
After my closeup encounters with powerline towers in NC, I took pictures of other styles of towers that I saw during my return trip.
