We walked this route on Sunday 12 April, and unfortunately the rain joined us for a good half an hour
But with our Gore-Tex jackets and umbrellas, we got through it without any major issues.
Whilst the route is generally easy to follow thanks to the GPX track, there are nevertheless two important points to note:
1 / As mentioned in the very first comment dated 21 May 2018 – six years ago now – the route is
difficult to follow precisely between points 5 and 6. I even think the difficulties have got worse over the last six years.
In fact, we managed to get through it without panicking thanks to the track we had on our app, which served as a guide
, but we didn’t hesitate to veer quite sharply to the right or left to avoid the vegetation. At
At certain points there isn’t really a path anymore, but you eventually find your way back onto it, as it winds its way through to end up between two meadows marked out by electric wires. Between the two rows of wires, a 60cm-wide passage… just wide enough.
2 / By forbidding people to pass through their property, the owners of the Mézerden manor have set a precedent in the neighbourhood.
For when you take the road on the right after point 15, you arrive at the crossroads of paths where it is no longer
possible to turn right to go to Pradou. As there is only one possible exit, we turn left towards
Garz ar Bélec, which takes us back along the route we took on the way out to the route’s starting point. This means
the entire end of the route that has been altered, and points 16 and 17 are no longer relevant.
The author should therefore amend their description to take account of this substantial change at the end.

it is not possible to walk alongside Mezerden Manor, and despite our research, the path that crosses the stream at point 15 has proved fruitless: there is no second path, and the first joins the road at Pontonars.
The highlight of the circuit is the two magnificent menhirs.

walk taken on 20 May 2018
please note that the path between markers 5 and 6 is now blocked. (Branches and brambles have been placed across the path at the top of the climb, and there are numerous private property signs along the path, apparently due to the replanting of a plot of land... ) I couldn't find a way around this obstacle and had to climb over the branches blocking the path and ignore the private property signs (for about 100 metres) before finding a path with no signs prohibiting access...
