12 members of this fast expanding group celebrated St George’s Day in style by penetrating this large mixed deciduous and coniferous forest at a
perfect time of the year. Leaves were bursting forth their spring greenery,
tracks were dry and we had the expanse of the Bois de Chênes almost to
ourselves. Whilst no Sangliers made an appearance and bird song was rather scarce, our group and its various conversations made up for whatever nature did not provide.
As always, the Auberge de Coinsins – one of GIN’s favourite lunch locations
– offered us a wide-ranging selection of lunchtime and a la carte meals,
enjoyed outside in the sun, on their large terrace.
Watch the website for news on forthcoming walks, all of which are of course open to all our GIN members. Also, do offer us new ideas for future
expeditions, please. Alan Baker”.
