Just like Mamours, a route done in January, the hunters are completely crazy. They shoot less than 50 metres from the cemetery, right at the start of the hike. They yell like madmen, it's ridiculous. And since the hike is generally not very interesting, with no other villages of interest, no monuments, mud everywhere, and a rather mediocre forest (especially the conifer plantation at the end), it's best not to do it. There are also no views, and the tissue/toilet paper factory next to Hondouville is frankly ugly, I wasn't expecting that... If you're looking for a short walk in the same area, try Heudebouville with views of the Seine circular loops, it's much better.

A very cool hike to do, the route is reliable except for marker 4 at the post where markers 4 and 1 are indicated; you must take the left path indicated by a red marker.

The route begins with a fairly long climb, which gets me in shape for the rest of the route.

Nice hike. Some sections in the forest were tricky because of the mud. The view isn't the highlight of this hike, as it's often blocked by trees, but it's very varied (forests, fields) and there's plenty of elevation gain!

Thank you for this route.

Actually, mcgyver38, according to the map, under the HT line, you had to go the other way, uphill.

Hello
I just did this route and unfortunately had problems at point 4. I ended up on the D113 towards Noyon...!
I found point 4 and headed towards the bottom of the valley, which wasn't the right option. I couldn't find points 6, 7 and 8. Once I found myself under the high-voltage power line, I followed it until I reached the fork in the road towards Noyon/Canapeville, near the waste collection centre. Well, it was a nice walk anyway. I'll do it again in reverse to see where I got stuck.
Thank you for suggesting this route near our lovely village.

Hello,

As it is currently very hot, I have decided to do this hike in the opposite direction.
After analysing the profile, I thought that this reversal would make the route less difficult, as the elevation gain would be less pronounced.

Very beautiful, hilly route through the forest, but be careful on this route in winter as hunters shoot from everywhere. Sometimes I was even scared! The only disappointment. I would do it again in the spring now!
