In the Ternois, after a loop on the small roads of Sains-les-Pernes, head towards Fiefs, before descending to Boyaval via a wild hollow and returning to Sains-les-Pernes via the Chemin Vert, which would benefit from regular maintenance.
It is best to walk this route in dry weather, as some sections are difficult.

Departure from Camblain-Châtelain (Pas-de-Calais)
From Camblain, the route quickly climbs as you make your way to Floringhem. The descent to Pernes follows a very beautiful path. I have recently altered the route through Pernes, using different side lanes. It is after Marest that things get a bit tricky, with sections of the path that can be quite muddy (though the paths have improved considerably in recent times). The return route goes via Mont Duquenne.

6h 15
Difficult
Departure from Aumerval (Pas-de-Calais)
A very pleasant nature trail in dry weather, but becomes more challenging in wet weather: grassy sections (a good test for your shoes, deep ruts, muddy sections).
Warning: October 2024. While it's relatively easy to get through the ruts, the last part of the path out of the wood (before point 9) is in a terrible state. The path has been broken up by machinery and you can only pass along the sides, which are themselves very difficult. It's very slippery and sometimes you have to change sides, which is a real challenge. This used to be a signposted mountain bike trail, is it still?
