Walking Around La Guerche

On Monday 30 January Simon and I walked 5 km around La Guerche with the Phoenix en Claise group. We started off in the village itself, which is one of the loveliest in the Sud Touraine, then went up the hill.

In one part of the forest there was a wooden hut surrounded by plastic bottles on stakes. I've no idea what that was about.
