Colin Hemez will speak at the October 24 Mountaineers meeting. He writes: “In the summer of 2022, I partook in a hiking trip through the mountains of northern Wales—an adventure enabled by Great Britain's extensive train network and venerable right to roam laws. In this talk, I'll share some photographs of the journey, discuss the history and future of walking in England, and reflect on the relationship between maps and the places they represent.”
