Steve had chosen a fairly gentle 22 km and 600 m deniv hike for us on 23 July, albeit it was billed at 10% to 15% less than this. A hot morning and the forest trail up provided shade – and stickiness. Fine clear views from the view point gave way to terrapins, coffee and bells at St Cergue. A clockwise route up and through field and forest brought us to a lunch spot at the edge of the forest with a fine view above Arzier where some 40 kites whirled above us. We meandered down and explored the cool glory of the Bois de Chêne before downing some welcome and refreshing beer at Pashley kennels (thanks Rob!). Thanks also to our leader for a very pleasant outing.
