Although Jeremy has now moved to England he asked to remain on the distribution for the hiking group in case there are any more 4 day hikes in the future.

I’ll ask Jeremy to update his details in the web site so we’ve all got his address and phone number.

GIN Hikers have been actively taking advantage of the fantastic weather with day hikes to Pic Chaussy, (August 28)

Tour d’Ai above Leysin, (September 11)

which turned out to be somewhat more demanding than anticipated!

and a magnificent 4 day adventure doing the

Tour des Muverans (September 16-19)

via the rather spooky valley of Derborence

(which had been decimated by a major landslide in the 18th century)

and magnificent views from Chalet Rambert.

Many thanks to David for initiating the day hikes and Thatcher

for his excellent leadership of the TdM.

Commiserations to Peter and a speedy recovery for his back condition

which limited his participation.

Jeremy, Thatcher, Stephen and David enjoyed a spectacular hike in superb conditions around the Gastlosen range above Jaun.

David, Peter (who took the photo) , Thatcher and Jeremy enjoyed a 17km loop hike over the Dent de Vaulion in perfect conditions despite the bise. This included a surprise lunch in the “Trois Coeurs” in the village of Vaulion.

Thanks to David for initiating and organising.

 

The first hike of the 2018 season.

Organised by David Colledge, included Jeremy & Mark

Met in Chavannes Centre car park at 07:30, drove to Chaumont, hiked to summit of Le Vuache (3.4km, 480m ascent) and back (slightly further).

Lunch in La Cave de la Ferme in nearby Frangy – highly recommended with 4 course lunch at €16.5.

Back home before 15:00.

A great day out, much thanks to David.
