Enghien-Silly (22 km along GR 123)

Next Sunday I am organizing another classical train hike. We will start in Enghien, where we will connect on GR 123 into the direction of Silly. On the way we will mainly go through farming fields and a forest. When we approach Silly, we will leave GR 123 behind us, and head towards the town center for a beer and a short train ride back to Brussels.

As the number of participants is limited, it is important that you manage your registration responsibly: only sign up if you really intend to come and cancel as soon as you know you can’t (this also goes for people on the waiting list!). We will try to keep close to an average speed of about 4.5 km/h. We will walk mainly on unpaved roads. I’ve not tested this track beforehand, so it’s possible that there are some mistakes in the planning (i.e. it may become longer ;-).

●●Meeting point:
We meet at 10h37 in front of the railway station of Enghien. If you start in Brussels-South, you should take train IC 1931 at 10h15 to Tournai. You can find me in the second car of the train.

●● Train tickets:
Return ticket to Silly.

●● Back to Brussels:
From Silly you have a train back to Brussels every hour.

●● Specifics:
Distance: ca 22km
Elevation gain: 200
Net walking time: ca 6h
Weather forecast: Cooler than the coming days, small chance of rain.
In the unlikely case of too bad weather, we may cancel a hike, even few hours before the event. If this must happen, we will of course update the Meetup website and send out an email to those registered. So it is important to have access to either the [[Meetup.com](http://meetup.com/)](http://meetup.com/) website and/or your emails.

●● What to bring:

• Comfortable hiking clothes &shoes
• rain gear (just in case)
• water + food for the breaks
• sun cream
• Compeed for blisters
• some small money for drinks

●● Basic rules:
Please RSVP only if you really intend to come. And if your plans change, update your RSVP asap, even hours before the walk. This is basic courtesy towards others. Repeated late cancellations are not well considered (at all). No-shows are even worse.
Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the “going” list.

As the participation in the events is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves.
