Boucle de Jouy-les-Reims à Vrigny par Coulommes-la-Montagne

QUESTION: Can you explain this difference in distance? It is not insignificant (around 10% after all).

Hello,
I'm not surprised by such a difference. There are many topics on this subject. It simply varies depending on the device.

When you're out in the field, it's easy to find a little more than the software does, because you make small detours: you visit a church, you get water from a cemetery, you step back to take a photo, you walk away to take a wee.

If you find less, it may be because the points are further apart, in which case the track cuts corners.

Hello
The Visorando software calculates the distance. I tried other software on the internet, and the result is the same. When I put the GPX track on my Garmin Etrex 30x, it shows me the same distance. This could be due to the interval between two points in your Garmin settings. Have you tried putting the file you saved during the hike on Visorando by creating a new route and looking at the data displayed?

We loaded the .GPX trace file onto a Garmin hiking GPS and followed the route precisely.
You indicate a distance of 12.18 km.
My Garmin recorded 11.3 km.

Congratulations on your website and your information, which encourages us to hike in places we would never have gone before.

A beautiful hike, but not to be done in very hot weather (little shade).

A pleasant walk through vineyards and fields, with beautiful views of Reims; we extended it by about 3 km by taking different paths that presented themselves to us during our walk.

It is certainly necessary to put things into perspective.
Alone or in a group, everyone's level. Flat or sloping terrain.
Speed while moving or average speed with breaks for drinks, snacks and toilet stops.

On the same route, there is a difference of at least 0.5 km/h to more than 1 km/h between riding alone and riding with my wife. Whether it's uphill or not.

Machine-translated

It's not slow. It corresponds to accompanying a group of hikers and the necessary breaks.

Machine-translated

An average speed of 6 km/h on this type of route is equivalent to brisk walking.

But yes, 3.5 km/h is slow.

Machine-translated

The hiking time is calculated based on an average speed of 3.5 km/h for non-mountain hikes. For mountain hikes, the basis is 1 hour for every 300 m of elevation gain and 450 m of elevation loss.

Very nice walk, but it takes much less time than indicated, 2 hours 10 minutes without breaks. I walk at a good pace, but the description says almost 4 hours, so you really need to take a break every kilometre... or else you need to be walking with a child.

After La Ferme d'Onrézy, could this be a second Koh Lanta in the Marne?

Hello
Point 6 clearly indicates that you should take a path on the left that is circular and loops back to the alleyway by the watering hole. I am sorry if you encountered tall grass, but that is beyond my control. If you zoom in on the map on Visorando, you can see the details between points 6 and 7 clearly.
Kind regards

Regarding point 6: there is no sign bearing the name of the Rue de l'Abreuvoir. Coming from the Rue du Lavoir, you have to venture left into the grass to find a path running alongside a wall, which is the Rue de l'Abreuvoir.
