Hike for November 13, 2013

Dear Hikers,

This week we are going to the Forêt de Fontainebleau with Laurence. Here is her information:

The hike will start from Fontainebleau-Avon. It should be about 16 km. We will take chemin Baudrillard and then follow chemin Denecourt N°2 to the tower and then continue on to beautiful Rocher Cassepot (chemin N°3). Part two of the hike will take us to Rocher St Germain (chemin N°4) to catch chemin Denecourt N°12 and GR1 to Bois le Roi.

This walk includes several slopes and, at Rocher St Germain, a few rocks and narrow passages that may not agree with bad knees but only for a few minutes(15min); if you have a map, there is a way around those rocks. We will have to maintain a good pace.

Lunch will be between 12:30 and 1pm at Rocher St Germain, bring a snack.

GETTING THERE: -Take train 51815 from Gare de Lyon direction Montargis at 9.19, arriving at Fontainebleau-Avon at 9.57, Zone 5. I will meet you at Gare de Lyon, we will sit in the last car as usual.

Return trains from Bois le Roi at 15.37 (arr:16.11) - 16.07 (arr:16.41). There is a café next to the station. If you do not have a "Passe Navigo", buy a "Mobilis 5 zones" (15,65€)

Come with good footwear, warm and rainproof gear as temperatures are now much cooler. You will also need a lunch. See you on Wednesday!

ps: Sorry, but I don't have a cell phone. Laurence

We all I'm sure wish to say a special thanks to Daniel who gave up his walk to drive Anne Marie and Jean for a hospital check up after Anne Marie's slipping in the mud. We were all very much touched by this friendly gesture. And of course we hope in the meantime your eye has recovered Anne Marie
