Presentation: Spectacular French Alpine Hiking on the GR5

Tulle Frazer and Rob Bryan will present stunning slides and personal stories of a recent hut-to-hut hike on the GR5 route in the French Alps. While hiking through a variety of ecosystems from pastures to woods to sub-alpine meadows to glaciers, they experienced equally stunning distant views of magnificent mountains, some snow-covered, some not. In the valleys they visited wonderfully iconic villages sampling the varied regional cuisine, and while on mountain paths they were often remote from the effects of civilization. Learn how to plan a hike on Europe’s established trail networks from a distance and how rewarding it is to immerse oneself in the spectacular alpine scenery. Join us on Tuesday February 14th at the Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick for a potluck dinner at 6pm and Tulle and Rob at 7pm. Parking is on Middle Street or in a public lot off Union Street. Bring a potluck item to share and your own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.). Drinks will be available. For more information, download a flyer flyer (128 KB PDF) or email Education Chair John Mullens. All events are free and open to the public.
