Walks June 2019

Dear Walkers

I am proposing the following walks at

Castera Verduzan - Friday 14 June starting at 10.30

There will be TWO walks (both classified as easy) - one starting at 10.30 which is 9 kms (about 2.5h+) and the other starting at 14.30 which is 5.5 kms (about 1.5h+).  The morning walk takes us into the quaint hamlet of Old Castera with good views along the ridge and then out into the countryside and the afternoon walk takes us more southerly into the countryside with views of Old Verduzan and it church.  Castera Verduzan is famed for its casino and thermal spa complex.


There will be a re-walk of the walks at

Vic Fezensac - Wednesday 12 June starting at 10.30

Again there are TWO walks (both easy/moderate) - the morning walk starts at 10.30 which is 10.5 kms (3h+) with a variant of 7 kms and takes us into the countryside with some good views.  The afternoon walks starts at 14.30 which is 7.5 kms (2h+) and is a riverside/countryside walk (along the River Osse) and then up to the village of Marambat where there are some fantastic views over Vic.

I apologise for the fact that there are two sets of walks in the same week - at least it'll keep us fit (or exhausted!!) and do hope that you can join us.

Please let me know which of the walks you would like to do and whether they are in the morning or afternoon walks.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Future lunches

Summer BBQ Tuesday 18th July at Chateau Buros, near Gabarret with partners/guests which was very successful last year.

Summer picnic - provisional date 13th August at the Chateau Bassous (near Eauze).  This is an ideal venue for a picnic, with a large tent and shade to give plenty of cover.  This will be a “bring and share” event and partners, guests are welcome.  The date will be confirmed at the lunch.
