Night Hike/Rando: Bastile my Moonlight (To celebrate change in Curfew)
An urban night hike above the city celebrate the relaxation of curfew to 23H and also pay tribute to those who have suffered or lost someone during the pandemic (**)!
💡 Note: if you want to sleep in the mountain near Mont Rachais, Albin is organizing an “alternative” end for this hike 🌙 You can subscribe here: https://mensuel.framapad.org/p/sleepingnearrachais-9o0x
Sunset on next Friday is at 20:45; but it should be well dark on the western trail to Bastille before then.
THE PATH IS SET!
There are 3 well known paths from Grenoble to the Bastille.
There are also two-to-three less-well-known ones, and that’s the one for us!
