From Herman Debroux to Boitsfort (15 km)

As, for my taste, the weekend will be too hot to hike, I suggest a little night walk on Friday evening to enjoy a lovely long and warm evening. We will start at the Metro station Herman Debroux and set out past Rouge Cloitre into the Forest de Soignes. We will loop around the central part of the Forest on small paths and get back to town close to Gare de Boitsfort. If it is already dark enough, we may be able to see fire flies in that area.

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!).

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 website and/or your emails.

●● What to bring:

• Comfortable hiking clothes &shoes
• water + food as needed
• sun cream
• Compeed for blisters
• some small money for drinks if we find an open bar at the end

●● 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.

●● Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability:
You are responsible for yourself and should be fit enough if you want to take part. 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.
