Departure from Bezinghem (Pas-de-Calais)
A pleasant hike starting from Bezinghem and passing near Zoteux, Course and the centre of Doudeauville. Much of the route is on well-maintained paths. It alternates between countryside and small villages, as well as crossing Doudeauville on a road that runs pleasantly alongside the Course. The hills add a reasonable amount of elevation to this family hike.

Departure from Saint-Michel-sous-Bois (Pas-de-Calais)
Same starting point as for the “5-bois-et-quelques-raidillons” hike, but this route is a bit longer, with a decent climb, and avoids walking along the D129.
I think the app is essential, especially as the GR® markings are very faint (you might even wonder if this legendary GR® still exists?).

On 12/08/2025: the start of the trail is once again very overgrown (brambles and nettles). It's passable but it's best to wear trousers or good gaiters and, of course, bring a walking stick or even a pair of secateurs.
