Join us for our August 2025 General Meeting for a brief discussion of the business of the club, opportunities to mingle with other outdoor enthusiasts and NMMC members, and for a special presentation by Terry Owens, regarding backpacking overseas focusing on his backpack across Wales.
Presentation Synopsis:
Have you ever thought of expanding your backpacking or hiking experiences to an overseas locale? There’s no better way to learn about a place and its people than on foot with a pack strapped to your back. Join Terry Owen for his presentation on his recent thru-hiking journey through Wales. He’ll cover planning, logistics, travel and safety, while also sharing his experiences, photos and video from the land of dragons and castles. It might be just the thing to get you to say, “why not expand my horizons?”
Speaker Information:
Terry is a retired U.S. Navy officer and deep submersible pilot and subsequently completed an 18-year career at Sandia National Laboratories. An avid hiker, backpacker and climber for nearly 50 years, he’s journeyed to six continents but just recently expanded his horizons to include overseas backpacking trails, because he said, “why not?"
