On February 15th at 6:30 p.m., we hosted our Winter Speaker Program featuring Ted Scheu, who shared photos and recounted his September with 5 friends around Mont Blanc in the French Alps.
Long regarded as one of the worlds classic long distance hiking trails, the The Tour du Mont Blanc or TMB is one of the most popular long-distance walks in Europe. It circles the Mont Blanc massif, covering a distance of roughly 103 miles with 6.2 miles of ascent/descent and passing through parts of Switzerland, Italy and France. (source: Wikipedia)
Scheu described it after completing the trek with five friends: “It was more spectacular even than my sky-high expectations. Definitely a top-5 life adventure.”

Members of our team, the Bread Loaf Loafers, were excited to come together to participate in Long Trail Day Hike-a-Thon, a fundraiser supporting Green Mountain Club. As a maintaining section, we understand how hard it is to maintain the Long Trail System. Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.
Our section hosted three different hikes on Long Trail Day and then came together in Middlebury to share stories and quench our thirst. The hikes were varying lengths; one at Bristol Cliffs and two on the Long Trail.
We raised $1,451 with your help.
Thank you so much for your support! Hope to see you on the trail!
Ivor Hughes, a well-known hike leader from Monkton, has generously provided the Bread Loaf Section with a dozen of his highly entertaining and educational "movies," documenting his recent backpacking trips with friends.
