BCS Relaxed #2 - Viry & ABIG Virage

For something a bit different this week ....
We will head west into the Geneva countryside south of the Rhone before turning south to cross into France (Haute Savoie) for an "early" coffee stop in Viry. Afterwards, we'll loop back towards St Julien and into Switzerland near Bardonnex continuing to Saconnex d'Arve where we can (or not) stop off at the Virage micro-brewery for the Fête de l'ABIG! For those who chose, the "relaxing" can start here (and you can make your own way home later - without a guide!). For the rest it's a short 6km back to the starting point.

The weather forecast for Saturday is good and dry, cool in the morning, warming to ~25ºc in the afternoon. Dress accordingly - and consider sun cream!
