In 2010 Chris Townsend, outdoor writer, photogrpaher and Gear Editor for TGO magazine, hiked the Pacific Northwest Trail, which runs for 1250 miles from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean through the states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. This is a wilderness route with much challenging terrain and remote country inhabited by bears and wolves. Chris, who was until recently President of mountaineers and climbers organisation the MCofS, will be giving an illustrated talk about the walk on 20 October in Inverness.
The talk, to be illustrated with spectacular images of the mountains, is organised by TISO and held at the Millburn Academy will start at 7.30pm (Doors open at 7:15pm)on Thursday 20 October. Tickets are £8 with all profits going to local Mountain Rescue Teams. For more details see the TISO website.
