Bonjour tout le monde ! J’organise ces vendredi/samedi 25 et 26 Septembre une randonnée de 80km depuis Dourdan vers la cathédrale de Chartres † (400D+ environ) 📣 Niveau de difficulté : **5/5 (Hardcore. La condition physique seule ne suffit pas. Une volonté de fer est nécessaire)** 🥾 Allure de 4 à 5 km/h - Durée totale d’environ 18h (incluant les pauses). On randonnera donc de nuit au départ. 🚂 Rendez-vous à la gare de Dourdan le Vendredi 25 Septembre pour 22h00 (terminus du RER C). Depuis Chartres à l'arrivée le Samedi, des TER seront disponibles toutes les heures pour revenir sur Paris. 🌍 https://www.visorando.com/randonnee-paris-chartres-par-le-gr655-7 (nous suivrons la trace depuis Dourdan, et non pas depuis Paris) N’oubliez pas votre pique-nique (et une bouteille pour ceux qui veulent 🍷) **Règles de la rando** ⚠️ **\- LISTE D'ATTENTE NON ACCEPTÉE** \- Rando sans plan B\. Ceux qui abandonnent devront commander un Uber pour rentrer chez eux\. \- Tranche d’âge de 25 à 60 ans **maximum** (cf. règles générales du groupe) \- Événement gratuit \- Je me réserve le droit de déplacer ou d’annuler la randonnée en cas de mauvais temps ou en cas d'empêchement personnel de dernière minute \- Chacun randonne sous sa propre responsabilité \- On ne fume pas pendant la rando 🚭 **Infos pratiques** 🤔 \- Chacun apporte son casse\-croûte du midi 🍔 \- Chaussures basses ou hautes au choix \(hautes idéales si besoin de stabilité\) 🥾 \- Lampe frontale obligatoire **Avis à la population** 📣 Je tiens à rappeler que mes randos s’inscrivent dans un cadre bon enfant. Elles doivent rester agréables et détendues pour tout le monde. Elles sont gratuites, non professionnelles et me demandent du temps pour l’organisation. Je prierai donc les personnes mécontentes des règles de mes randos (en l’occurrence celle concernant la tranche d’âge) **de simplement passer leur chemin**, en évitant toute invective dans les commentaires, qui n’aurait qu’un effet délétère et non constructif. **Important** ⚠️ Vous serez positionnés en liste d'attente par défaut. **==> Merci de me contacter en privé pour valider votre inscription à cette randonnée particulière.** Cela permettra de confirmer votre condition physique (outre le fait que vous aurez lu ce descriptif jusqu'au bout). Au plaisir de vous rencontrer ! Yann 💪 Meetup / Groupe « Hiking near Paris » +33 6 75 45 23 45
