Hike for 10 October 2018

 Champagne-sur-Seine - Vulaines-sur-Seine/Samoreau - Fontainebleau

Longer walk around 20km, with Laurence

Shorter walk no more than 15km and easier, with Mary Lynne

This hike will start in Champagne-sur-Seine (right bank)
and will end at Fontainebleau-Avon train station, about 20k or 15k.
In the morning, we will walk through the forest and along the river to Vulaines-sur-Seine/Samoreau, after lunch we will cross the river to walk in Forêt de Fontainebleau.

Both walks will follow the same route in the morning. One rock formation (Rocher Samoreau) with some ups and down, not hard.

Lunch spot will be the same. After lunch, the shorter walk will head directly towards 

Fontainebleau through the forest, flat ground. The longer walk will follow a longer, a bit more hilly route through the forest.

Wear good footwear. Carry enough water.
