-----------------------------------------------------------------

On Wednesday, October 21st we will walk alongside the banks of the river Grand-Morin in the department of the Seine et Marne. There are traces of Roman settlement along the Grand Morin, and there were many water mills and paper factories up until the 15th century. Our itinerary will be a loop starting and ending in Faremoutiers.

Arrival 10:08 Faremoutiers (Pommeuse).
Train CITU. Direction Coulommiers. Zone 5.

Likely return: 15:45 from Faremoutiers, arriving at Gare-de-l'Est, 16:42.
Next is 16:45 arriving 17:42. Train PITU.
----
The distance will be 15 km.
The terrain: a few lovely slopes and kind glorious mud.
----
Bring you usual gear, picnic and water. If this weather continues, you will need hats, gloves, and maybe even a thermos of something hot for the picnic. 
=======================

A POSSIBLE OPTION for a 21/22-km walk.
(Please note: these 6 kilometers more were not scouted. bring your maps and GPS)
Possible but unlikely return 16:45 arriving 17:42.
Likely return 17:40 arriving 18:42.
= =======================

A bailout (exit) after 8 km is possible, but
due to the distance from Paris or suburb, probably not a option you will want to take.
You can call Daniel for more information.
========================

I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Hike for October 7

Hello Hikers,

Jacques Génin has proposed to lead us next week in the always beautiful Valley de Chevreuse. 

Here is his proposal :  

A 16-km loop beginning at Bures-sur-Yvette. We will follow the ancient railway project Paris-Chartres which had never been completed. After a tour in Gometz-le-Châtel, we will find the river Yvette at Gif and follow it to Bures. Parts of this trip are slightly hilly, good paths, no mud expected.

Bail out possible at 11 km close to the station of Gif-sur-Yvette.

Transportation :

RER B, direction Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse,  at St-Michel-Notre-Dame at 9:25, arrival at Bures-sur-Yvette at 10:01.
Return from Bures-sur-Yvette near 15:00. There are 4 trains each hour to Paris.

Jacques Génin

Let's keep our fingers crossed that we don't have a repeat of the soggy walk we did in that vicinity three weeks ago!
