Excursion 02

Sunday, 1 July 2001

Dear colleagues,

Continuing the serie of easy outings to recover shape, my proposal for this Sunday is a lake, the lake of Tavaneuse. We have already made it once in 1998. As far as I remenber is a medium size mountain lake with the possibility of trouts fishing. The outing, however, also offers the possibility of getting further, climbing the "Roc de Tavaneuse"(2156m) and coming back to starting point passing by a vertiginous itinerary that has beautiful views.

It is convenient to emphasize some useful items: please do not forget to carry on (wear) raincoat, hat/cap and sun glasses, warm gloves, hiking boots or sport-footwear with thick and non-slipping sole, enough food and drinks for the own consumption. Spear dry clothes and after excursion confortable shoes are very convenient.

Have a lovely weekend! Cheers! Jose.
