Randonnées

There's a popular activity around here, known as Randonnée (rando for short). It's a group walk, hike, and/or ride-out (cyclists usually have detours on joint randos, otherwise they'd fall off their bikes trying to ride slowly all the way). Often they are "randonnées découvertes", which means there will interesting places to view or explore with guides who know about them.

Many of the towns and villages organise randonnées; St Dizant is about to join in. The first Saint Dizant du Gua rando découverte has been arranged for Tuesday 19 October, starting at 2pm and taking the afternoon over a route of 8-10 kilometres.

I wonder what they're going to explore, and what the take-up will be on a mid-week afternoon (though viticulturists may be free that week). If Broomstick's wheel has been repaired by then, I fancy tagging along.
