Presentation: Trekking the Tour Du Mont Blanc

On Tuesday October 16, join AMCers Carey Kish and Fran Leyman for tales and images of their recent trek along the Tour du Mont Blanc, a two-week, 170-kilometer circumnavigation of the Mont Blanc Massif. En route the duo tackled a dozen high mountain passes and cumulatively gained nearly 33,000 feet of elevation through strikingly beautiful Alpine terrain. The TMB, as it is known, is a good introduction to European trekking because there are excellent guidebooks and maps, the path is well-marked and graded, there’s a fine string of good accommodations, great food and beer and wine, and just enough other international trekkers for company. And you get to experience hiking through France, Italy, and Switzerland! On Tuesday, October 16th join us at the Freeport Community Library, 10 Library Rd in Freeport, 04032. The dinner begins at 6pm; the presentation at 7pm. Bring a potluck item to share and your own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.) if possible. Drinks will be available. Parking is free and plentiful.
