The Good Life

Up the Yukon without a Paddle ‘Remarkable’ – Time Magazine Dorian Amos – a painter from Cornwall – and his wife decided that they were in need of adventure. Searching their world atlas, they decided to sell up and move to Canada in search of a new and better life. Having bought Pricey the car, Boris Lock their faithful dog, a canoe and their fishing equipment, they set off into the Yukon wilderness to find a place they could call home. After months of camping alone in the great outdoors where they encountered bears and madmen, they eventually arrived at Dawson City, site of one of the great gold rushes of the 20th century. Here they found a run-down log cabin in the nearby mountains and began a new and fascinating life – one they had always known they wanted.
