A) ma traduction: (not the best translation, but without a mistake, which completely changes the meaning of the sentence)
6:30 p.m. appointment at Thann.
After the small bridge over the Thur it's immediately on the right tonight.
Gerald checks immediately that the side is stable! OK !!
the double loop from Michel ;-) then we continue until the Waldkapelle.
Descent to Kattenbachrunz then up in the gorge 2 which had been well washed away (but rebuilded now with the bridge at its right place and function !!) :-)
short stop at the Grumbach's pass and then at the Wotan oak ...
he is in a sad state, this youngster who is 250 years old, .... he will leave us
Comparison between
2004 -
2011
and 2015 (now)It still goes up until Camp Turenne and there, for the descent, we put on a coat because it isn't really hot!
The path goes near the Ostein Rock but we don't stop there tonight.
250m after Ostein farm, turn left to take another little path.
Back from Bitschwiller on the cycle track along the Thur.
For Gilles it will be not so nice: he finishes the trip with (just) one pedal (it's less convenient!)
B) la traduct. Google
6:30 p.m. appointment at Thann.
