Hike for June 22

Dear Hikers,

Summer is almost here and we are wondering what happened to spring. No matter, we kept on hiking in spite of the weather. Next Wednesday for our first summer walk we will return to the Vexin Français with Claude as our leader. 

Remember you need personal accident and liability insurance to participate in our hikes.

Here is Claude's information:

Cette randonnée de 20 km et 425 m de dénivelé nous conduira dans la vallée de l'Aubette, au nord de la vallée de la Seine, dans le Vexin français. Elle alternera entre charmants villages typiques du Vexin et campagne vallonnée. 

This 20 km hike, with 425 m of altitude change, will bring us to the Valley of the Aubette stream, to the north of the Seine valley, in the Vexin français. This is in opposition to the part of the Vexin territory which was part of Normandy before Normandy became part of France. We will walk through charming villages amid rolling countryside. 

Travel information:
Départ : Gare Saint Lazare à 9 h 12, train en direction de Mantes-la-Jolie via Conflans, arrivée à MEULAN HARDRICOURT à 10 h 08 où je vous attendrai.

 If you are a new walker, know that our intrepid group will probably meet at the end of the quai at the Gare St. Lazare and ride in the last car going out of the station. Claude will meet us at the arrival station of Meulan Hardricourt.

Retour : Gare de MEULAN HARDRICOURT (en face du café de la gare) à partir de 15 h 30, train environ toutes le 30 mn vers Paris Saint Lazare.

Trains every 30 min on average.

Comme d'habitude, tenue adaptée à la météo, pique-nique, suffisamment d'eau et votre bonne humeur habituelle.

As usual, wear clothing appropriate for the weather, bring a picnic lunch and sufficient water for the day, and of course your usual good humour.
