About the Author
Gilbert Penney is a retired teacher who lives in Springdale, Newfoundland. He is married to the former Gleason Rice of Port Anson and the father of three boys: Glenn, Geoff, and Greg. During the past ten years he and his hiking companion Harvey Rice have become avid backpackers. Gilberts and Harveys latest venture was their very successful and well-publicized Trek for Health, a fund-raising endeavour for the South and Central Health Foundation. Not yet satisfied by the thrill of meeting the challenge of long distance hiking, they are planning at least one more trek for the summer of 2000, a trek that they hope will, for the first time, include Labrador.

A "must" for backpacking across Newfoundland, Canada.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backpacking Across Newfoundland (Paperback)
In Backpacking Across Newfoundland, we travel along with Gilbert Penney and his hiking companion Harvey Rice through the means of Gilbert's daily journals composed during his long distance hikes. Gilbert's observations, reflections, descriptions and anecdotes are as refreshing and inspiring as the landscapes through which he trekked. Backpacking Across Newfoundland is highly recommended reading for the armchair traveler and inspiring for all who love, work, and walk through Newfoundland's natural landscapes.
