Minutes

18 participants, including 5 French, set off under a magnificent blue sky. When we reached the ridge, the clouds that had been forecast arrived very quickly from the west, but fortunately we were able to take shelter from the hailstorm on the Monts de Bière mountain pasture. After an hour, a slight lull in the weather allowed us to descend to Bière in the dry, leaving aside the Col du Marchairuz.

"Debriefing in the garden with bread, cheese (Rosette de Lyon offered by our French friend) and a glass of Clairette de Die.

It was a friendly, good-humoured day in the Jura.
