429

Bus L240 from St Pierre to Tarcenay 7:12AM or 8:34AM

430

Alternatively walk there and get a 4:26pm or a 5:45pm bus

432

Not a good option to get there in the morning. There is a bus at 1:20pm or 5pm from Cussey to Besancon

433

This would be a good day for me to drive out in the morning and Andi ride to pick the car up. Or for me to walk out an Andi drive the car to there. Either way.

434

This is going to be too difficult to get to/from. Replace with walk from Novilares to Besancon 11.3/1600

437

More elevation to do in reverse but not a lot. 1350.

438

7:18 or 8:40 bus from St Pierre. Can get off at Terney to do in right direction or go all the way to Mouthier and walk back down.

439

4:25 and 5:45pm buses from Tarcenay
