FABA Walks

  Pictures from our Ramble in July 2023 6.6km Ramble - gently undulating - nothing steep.  It is possible to lengthen this route quite easily by looking at Google Maps.  We did the route clockwise but it is possible to reverse the direction. A mix of small tarmac roads and tracks through the forest.    Shady in the forest but full sun on the road sections. Points of interest - The pilgrims resting spot, the forest and the buildings in Saint Léger including the church. Start point - Parking by the Eglise Saint Léger, 2 Rue du Logis 17800 Saint-Léger.  Plenty of parking.

  Photos taken on this St Fort ramble. 6.2km Ramble - first half of the walk is uphill and second half downhill.   Largely off road on grassy tracks through the vineyards with some tarmac roads linkings the footpaths or taking in the town. Mainly in the open with little shade. Points of interest - The town of St Fort including the church plus Les Moulins de Poupot (old converted windmills.  Particularly nice walk when the sunflowers are at their peak. Start point - Parking for the Salle Polyvalente and tennis club (next to the fire station) , Rue de Stade, Saint Fort sur Gironde, 17240.  (ample parking for many cars).
