Winter is upon us but we are not going to let a bit of rain, snow or mud daunt us. Next Wednesday, there are two hiking options. On one, Chaville/Meudon/Robinson,
All hikers need personal accident and liability insurance.
First a description of the hike/lunch/hike, Chaville to Robinson options:
Morning: Mary Lynne will lead us about 6/8 km from Chaville, through the Foret de Meudon, to the restaurant at Meudon, Val Fleury. The original idea was to start at Garches, but slowed down by mud (yes, there is mud on this walk too!), the walk has been shortened to allow time for Les Terrasses de l'Observatoire ( the Meudon Observatory) and to arrive on time at the restaurant.
Lunch: We will meet at 13:00 at the restaurant, Le Miromar, 15 Rue de Banes, a minute's walk from the station. Rue Banes is perpendicular to the railroad tracks. About 18 of you have reserved a place in the restaurant. If any one else wants to join the group, I suggest that you call the restaurant to see if you can be accommodated. 09.50.95.55.8
Afternoon: After refueling at the Miromar, Judy and Brigitte have kindly offered to lead a two hour walk (7km approx.) though another part of the Foret de Meudon and through at least two more parks to the RER B station of Robinson. Estimated arrival time is 17:00. This depends of course how long we stay in the restaurant and how much mud we encounter! You can choose to hike just in the morning, just in the afternoon or both, "évidement"!
Travel arrangements:
Morning: Gare St. Lazare, train VALE, Line L, leaves at 9:29, arrives Chaville Rive Droite at 9:49. This train passes through La Defense at 9:37 and St. Cloud, where I will get on, at 9:43.
Mary Lynne. 06.70.88.18.59
Return: trains leave the RER B Robinson station every 15 minutes. ( 05, 20, 35, 50 minutes after the hour)
Judy. 06.79.48.38.81

Now for Daniel's info about the Mantes option:
For those who prefer the sweetness of mud baths to the delicacy of the couscous, I propose you a quiet hike in my small countryside. Maxi 15 to 16 km, on mostly level terrain, but at a sustained pace.
The ground will be often muddy. As usual, good shoes, adapted clothes and good mood. A small nice bistro is on arrival before taking back a bus for the station.
To come: departure from Paris-St Lazare, direct train via Poissy at 9:04 am, arrived at Mantes la Jolie at 9:41 am.
Come out side Parking of Mantes la Ville and take the bus Lines K on the quay 22 at 9:46 am (go out quickly).
Come down to the stop "Graviers" where I will wait for you at 9:53 am. If you miss the stop, come down to the following stop and wait for me.
I take care of ordering the sun. See you soon.

Amis randonneurs,
Pour ceux et celles qui préfèrent la douceur des bains de boue à la délicatesse du couscous, je vous propose une randonnée tranquille dans ma petite campagne. 15 à16 km maxi sans beaucoup de dénivelée mais à un rythme soutenu.
Le terrain sera souvent gras. Comme d'habitude, bonnes chaussures, vêtements adaptés et bonne humeur. Petit café sympa à l'arrivée avant de reprendre un bus pour la gare.
Pour venir : Départ de Paris-St Lazare, train direct via Poissy à 9h04, arrivée à Mantes la Jolie à 9h41.
Sortir côté Parking Mantes la Ville et prendre le bus Ligne K qui part du quai 22 à 9h46 (sortir rapidement).
Descendre à l'arrêt "Graviers" où je vous attendrai à 9h53. Si vous ratez l'arrêt, descendez au suivant et attendez-moi.
Retour par le train de 15h08 ou 16h08.
je m'occupe de commander le soleil. A bientôt.
