You probably could leave packs though in your tents at Roaring Meg for the side trip to South Point, assuming you have time to do that walk. But given that you cannot actually reach the southern-most point, you might want to consider omitting this from your plan.

peregrinator wrote:OG1, Lamont is correct -- there no campsite at the lighthouse. So spacing out your overnight locations as equitably as possible, and sticking with you four-day plan, you might consider:
1. Sealers Cove.
2. Little Waterloo Bay.
3. Roaring Meg.
4. Tidal River.
Or go anti-clockwise. Refuge Cove is the least unattractive site of them all though, in my opinion. I don't like any of the other sites, and even Refuge can be too crowded. Another option, if you've got the funds in the bank, is to do it in two days and stay at the lighthouse. Advantages: need to carry less on your back; staying in a very attractive location. Disadvantages: spending the funds; fewer days out.
Your distances are correct, except for Meg to Tidal, which I believe is about 17.5.
