Hike for Sept 28

Hike for Sept 28  -  Fontainebleau

We will hike from Fontainebleau-Avon to Bois le Roi.

It should be about 18 km.

We will walk up to the Denecourt tower -again- and then continue on to Rocher Cassepot. Part two of the hike will start with Rocher St Germain and then, we'll walk in the forest to Bois le Roi.

This hike includes ups and downs and, at Rocher St Germain, boulders and narrow passages that may not agree with bad knees (for about15/20min), however, it is possible to pass by the rocks of Rocher St Germain, I will bring a map if you wish to do so.

We will maintain a good pace.

Lunch will be around 1pm. Bring a snack and enough water as there is no water in the forest. Come with good footwear.  

GETTING THERE:

-Take train “Ligne R” from Gare de Lyon direction Montargis at 9.19, 

arriving at Fontainebleau-Avon at 9.57, Zone 5 (the train stops at Melun). Departure should be from Hall 1 -lettered platforms- but check on arrival. At Gare de Lyon, meet up on the platform  by the rear car, travel in the rear car with the group if you wish.

-Return trains from Bois le Roi at 15.39 (arr:16.11); more likely 16.10 (arr:16.43); 16.40 (arr:17.13) . 

There is a café next to the station.

If you do not have a "Passe Navigo" (weekly pass, regular price: 22.15 €) or benefit from any discounted fares, buy a "Mobilis 5 zones" (17.30€)

Remember that you need personal accident and liability insurance to participate in a hike. 

See you on Wednesday!
