2020 Piet de Bie Memorial Walk: Vendays — Saturday, 8th February
Ready for another brisk, bracing winter walk?
This year we will be meeting at the park bench in Vendays at around 10h45.
There is off-road parking (Google Earth GPS coordinates : 45°21’24.00”N 1°05’23.00″ W) at the bench. Please click here for a map.
Format for the day
Weather permitting, the day will kick off with a “tailgate party” to keep first arrivals cheery and warm while waiting for everyone to gather, so come prepared with a thermos flask of hot coffee (or, whatever…). We will then offer a toast to Piet before we strike out on our walk (approximately 4-5 km)
Once back at our cars, we will motor to lunch at the “La Part des Anges”, 32 blvd Front de Mer, 33930 Vendays-Montalivet. Telephone : 05 56 41 14 83. ( Map )
Those going straight to the restaurant can plan to meet us at 13h00. If it is pelting down rain, we’ll skip the walking part and go straight to the restaurant after our bench-side gathering and toast.
Menu Options and Booking
The menu options and booking arrangements will be announced early in 2020.
In the mean time, mark the event in your calendar !
Driving directions to the walk
