Virginia Beach Backpacking Basecamp and Trail Tales

Whether you are a seasoned trekker looking to share lessons from the backcountry or someone just starting to plan your first overnight trip, this meetup is a chance to connect with others who enjoy getting off the beaten path. We are getting together in Virginia Beach to talk gear, swap stories from the trail, and discuss upcoming trips. It is a casual environment where the focus is on shared experience rather than professional instruction.

We will spend the time trading advice on everything from lightening your pack weight to finding the best local routes for a weekend getaway. If you have been itching to get out on the trail but haven't found the right group to head out with, this is a great place to meet some potential hiking partners. Please go ahead and RSVP if you think you can make it so we can get a sense of how many people to expect.
