A solo adventure in the Ardennes, which turned out to be drenched in rain.
This is meant to be a training run in my buildup to Legends Trail. I have several goals with this run:
As I was eyeing the weather forecast the week before the run, it was clear that I could add another goal:
I choose a combination of two existing and permanently marked long distance paths in the Ardennes: Transfamenne and Transardennaise. They meet in La Roche-en-Ardenne and a second time in Nassogne.
I will take the train to Marloie station, near Marche-en-Famenne: a 4h train journey. The Transfamenne path passes at less than 2km from the station. Then using Transfamenne, I will run to La Roche. There I will switch over to the Transardennaise. Following to Nassogne, where I will switch back to the Transfamenne, to Maroie again.
The last train back on Saturday that will allow me to get home departs at 18:39 in Marloie.
I plan to sleep in a forest somewhere around La Roche. Depending on how I feel at the moment, I might run a bit farther, or not.
