Hello,
some signposts are missing, particularly when leaving the village, at the cross, for the clockwise direction corresponding to your map.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,

A lovely route to get back into the swing of things.
However, make sure you wear long trousers and a long-sleeved top if you don’t want to get caught by brambles and nettles.
There aren’t many of them, but they can be a nuisance, especially when running or mountain biking.
The setting is still lovely, though.
