Je prierai donc les personnes mécontentes des règles de mes randos (en l’occurrence celle concernant la tranche d’âge) **de simplement passer leur chemin**, en évitant toute invective dans les commentaires, qui n’aurait qu’un effet délétère et non constructif. **Important** ⚠️ Vous serez positionnés en liste d'attente par défaut. **==> Merci de me contacter en privé pour valider votre inscription à cette randonnée particulière.** Cela permettra de confirmer votre condition physique (outre le fait que vous aurez lu ce descriptif jusqu'au bout).
