Creston is a small town at the base of the Rocky Mountain range in British Columbia Canada. Getting there is a journey and a half to say the least. A flight from London to Calgary, then on to a tiny plane carrying 16 passengers. The plane was so small, even hand luggage needed to be put on hold for the 45 minute journey over the Rockies. A truly scary and breath taking experience rolled into one. We arrived at Cranbrook “the gateway to the Rockies” and its tiny airport, before an hour long drive to Creston through beautiful countryside.
Why Creston you may ask, I was playing in a golf tournament representing the rest of the world against North America at Creston golf club so I had a fabulous 10 days in Creston. The journey itself was worthwhile just to play on one of the best golf courses I have ever experienced. This small town the base of the Rockies was a fabulous experience. Many great nights at Jimmy’s bar and grill, the fabulous food at the golf course and the wonderful breakfasts in the courtyard of the Retro Cafe on Main Street.
