Greetings neighbours! Are you paddlers or other travellers? Even armchair travellers? If so, you may be interested in the following. This Tuesday (9th October), starting at 7:00 pm, I shall be giving a talk and slideshow presentation at the Ilsley Library in Middlebury about a through-paddle this spring of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, a 740-mile paddling trail through the north-east..

Some may remember the talk I gave after my last through-paddle in 2013. This time the weather was better, but I paddled in the other direction, from northern Maine to the south-western Adirondacks. According to records, this had not been done before, and I'll be happy to tell you why!

Come and be inspired to do something similar ..... or to have your "armchair traveller" status affirmed. The talk lasts about an hour, maybe just over, and there will be a Q&A session after.
