6:30 Potluck, 7:15 pm Slideshow
AMC Auditorium, 4 Joy St, Boston MA
Last May, Philip Werner hiked coast-to-coast across Scotland as part of an annual, noncompetitive, event called The Great Outdoors Challenge (TGO Challenge). Philip planned his own cross-country route from the east coast to the west, a distance of 170 miles, backpacking through the heart of the Scottish Highlands.
Participation in the TGO Challenge requires a high degree of competence in navigation, survival techniques, backcountry camping and hill walking. A maximum of 15 days is allowed for the crossing and entrants must have previous hill walking experience in Scotland, although exceptions are made for overseas participants.
If you’ve ever been interested in hiking or mountaineering in Scotland, you should come see this presentation. Philip will describe his route planning process, including Scottish geography and climate, share his experiences backpacking the route and participating in the TGO Challenge, and show gorgeous pictures of Scotland’s mountains, waterfalls, and landscape.
