Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday,

Longer walk

Parmain – 25 km 

Dear hiking friends,

This week, a “sportive” loop from Parmain to Parmain via Nesle la Vallée (where is a good bakery & pastry shop).

The hike is about 25 km, no bail out (except if you have a map), and almost 500 m of elevation. Steady pace so as not to come back too late. 

The course has many changes of direction, so I count on you to stay together and be attentive.

As usual, take a picnic lunch, enough water and of course, shoes and clothing adapted to the season without forgetting your good mood. 

Getting there: 
From Paris-Nord Train POVA at 8h00  Line H dir. PERSAN BEAUMONT, arriving at L'Isle Adam-Parmain at 8h49 where I will be waiting for you.  Zone 5, single ticket 7.10€.                                                                                                                                 This train is usually at street (top) level,  if you're not familiar with Gare du Nord, arrive early enough.      Return by the same station, trains every 20 or 30 minutes.

See you on Wednesday.
