Hike for March 1, 2017


Rosny /Seine forest  -  23 k

Dear walkers,

This week, I propose a hike from Buchelay to Buchelay (Near Mantes la jolie) through the Rosny Forest. 
The path is not too hard but about 23 km and 500 m of elevation.
It's not easy to have a bail out, however if you have a map ... why not ? The pace will be sustained to compensate for the late start.

Getting there :
At Paris St Lazare- Train 51001 Dir Bréval at 9.07, arriving at Mantes la jolie at 9.40
(It's a direct train, do not use "via Poissy" or "via Conflans, it's very long).
Next, leave the station by the footbridge, Mantes la Ville side and take bus "K" which leaves quay 21 at 10.00. 
Get off at Buchelay Mairie where I will wait for you. 

Meet up in front of the platform, travel in the rear car with the group if you wish.
Return to Paris by the same station. 
As usual, take a picnic lunch, water and of course, shoes and clothing adapted to the season without forgetting your good mood.
See you on Wednesday,

Daniel R.
