Hello,

I’d really like to thank the person who posted this walk online. For me, it’s currently one of the best walks in the Oise (at least so far, as far as I’m concerned).

It’s quite a physical challenge (I’m wearing a 10kg weighted vest) and the elevation gain is quite substantial (around 235 metres).

Beautiful scenery, paths of varying styles so you can experience something different every time. I really do recommend it.
