Two Hikes for November 18

Hello walkers,

I am sure that last night's massacre has touched all of us deeply. With so many innocent people killed in cold blood one wonders where our planet is heading. Here at IdF walks we will continue as normal and hope that the public transportation will be safe. We have two options for Nov. 18, one with Dominika Raveau and the other with Daniel Robinot, but first I will make a plea for a leader for December 2. Otherwise the schedule is full until the holidays.

November 25, Judy -- 16km

December 2, need a leader

December 9, Jean-Louis Narjoux will lead a loop from Trilport near Meaux on the Monceaux Forest. In lieu of a picnic, J-L proposes a tasting of Brie cheese (along with charcuterie) at a place that he will announce later.  He would like to know well ahead of time how many people are interested in this formula so that he can reserve. Those of you who are not interested can bring a picnic lunch and eat outdoors.RSVP directly to Jean-Louis.

December 16, Daniel Robinot

Now for next Wednesday's hikes.

Dominika:  Robinson to Meudon Val Fleury
For next Wednesday I propose a hike of about 11 km with some ups and downs through the parks of Plessis-Robinson and a part of Meudon forest. We will picnic near l'étang de Triveaux (there is a little buvette nearby).
After 4 km we will pass near a bus-stop (bus195 to Metro Chatillon-Montrouge) in case you need to leave earlier...

From Châtelet Les Halles take RER B SORI at 9:32 direction Robinson. Arrival at Robinson at 09:58, zone 3.
The same train from Denfert Rochereau passes 8 minutes later.

At the Gare de Robinson walk to the head of the train then to the right and take the exit avenue Jules Guesde. The meeting place will be at the top of the stairs.

Return from Meudon Val Fleury RER C zone 3.

Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday with the good weather and your good spirits.

Daniel: area around Mantes la Jolie

Hiking friends,

This week we will return to Mantes la Jolie. Our 21/22 km hike will take us to woods, countryside and little villages.There are no real difficulties but there will be hills (450 m. altitude difference), and the pace will be strong and steady in order not to finish too late . There is no bail-out possible.

As per usual, you will need shoes and clothing adapted to the weather, picnic lunch and water, and of course your usual good humor. There will be no possibility to purchase food along the way.  

Travel: (train and bus) Departure: Gare St. Lazare at 9:07, (train for Breval-Evreux), arriving at Mantes la Jolie at 9:41. Take the footbridge towards the bus station of Mantes la Ville and take the bus on quay 22, Ligne K at 9:51. (ten minutes changeover time) Get off the bus at the station "Graviers" where I will meet you at 9:58. Some of you already know how to do this.

Return from the same station, direct train to Paris at 16:08 or 17:08

I hope to see many of you on Wednesday.

Amities,

Daniel

Chaussures et vêtements adaptés à la météo, picnic et eau (pas de possibilités de ravitaillement) et bien sur, bonne humeur.

Pour venir :  Départ Paris St Lazare à 9h07 (train pour Bréval-Evreux), arrivée à Mantes la Jolie à 9h41
Sortir par la passerelle côté gare routière de Mantes la Ville et prendre le bus quai 22 Ligne K à 9h51. Descendre station "Graviers" où je vous attendrai à 9h58 (Certains d'entre vous connaissent comment venir).

Je vous attends nombreux.
Amitiés.
