same observation: it's difficult to find your way through the woods after arriving at a pigeon hunting hut.
otherwise, the hike is quite pleasant.

Hello, I much prefer the hike to the Château d'Aiguilhe east of Puisseguin, which is more enjoyable starting from the church in Puisseguin.

An enjoyable route 80% of the way, but a major problem between "La Tuilière" (Point 64) and "La Dognonne" (Point 57). The path was poorly maintained; we had to make our way through woods and thickets. Thanks to GPS (iPhone). A real thrill!

Hello, thankfully I’d kept the original version starting from the church square, which I’d created in 2018 – why on earth was it removed from the site???.. It was very well put together, though....... We didn’t come across a single hunter........ A lovely, varied and enjoyable walk

Hello,
I did this route a few days ago and, as you say, between points 3 and 4, you can’t access the path on the right as it’s closed (leading to a pidgeon hunting hut), so you have to stay on the road and walk a good kilometre before taking a path on the right to rejoin the original route.

Thanks, vivoune

I’ve added a warning to the description and contacted the author to ask for an alternative route (3).

Hello

This route poses a real problem at point 3. The path through the woods no longer exists. It is therefore impossible to cross the woods and emerge at point 4. We tried in vain to find a way out of the woods, but it proved completely impossible; we had to turn back and therefore abandon this hike. I therefore think it would be useful to amend this route or remove it altogether to prevent other hikers from having the same misadventure.

Many thanks to Bruno 33500 for this new, varied and hilly route, which I thoroughly enjoyed walking today. Please note, however: at point 3, the path to take on the right into the woods (which is also shown on my walking GPS) does not exist, or no longer does. There is indeed the entrance to a pidgeon hunting hut and, heading off to the left, a small path, but both come to an end very quickly. You can nevertheless make your way through the woods to reach point 4, but you’ll need a machete.
