Leave Bicqueley via the D904 towards Collombey-les-Belles. Shortly after passing a motocross track, park at the start of the dirt track on the right.
(S/E) Retrace your steps and cross the road to take a dirt track on the right, marked with a Red Disc and Red Triangle. This track turns left. Leave the Red Triangle-marked track on your right and continue until you reach a very small road.
(1) Cross a path marked with a Red Saltire and take an unmarked path on the right, at just over a 90° angle. At the next junction, turn right onto a path marked with a Red Disc. You will reach a Y-shaped junction.
(2) Here you have two options:
- stay on the path marked with a Red Disc (this is the Tranchée de Montreuil), then turn right at the junction with the Tranchée de la Deuille,
- take the small path that winds along the right-hand side of the Fork in the road. The difficulty with this path is that it runs through woodcutters’ plots and may be cluttered; follow these woodcutters’ paths to reach the Tranchée de la Deuille (route).
(3) Cross it and continue through the undergrowth opposite, following a well-marked path. Descend towards the Ruisseau de Larot, follow its left bank to reach the Fontaine de la Deuille, crossing the stream via a small wooden bridge.
(4) Go round the Fontaine de la Deuille d’Ochey on the right and take the steep path climbing straight up the slope on the right. You will then reach a main track; take this to the right. Leave it to the right at the next junction to take the path that climbs slightly. You will come to a wider track; follow this for a few metres until you reach another fork.
(5) Take the straight path on the left. Continue straight on until you reach the junction before the Tranchée Colas Maréchal.
(6) Turn right and then take the Tranchée Marhand opposite. Take thethird clearly marked path on the left. Then take a double bend, first turn right then left, to exit the woods at a new junction.
(7) Here too, take a double bend to the left then immediately turn right to enter the woods again; this is the Rond Bois. You will then reach a path that follows the boundary of the district or municipality, marked by stone boundary stones. Continue along this path until you reach the D904 road. Cross it and take the small path that leads into the undergrowth. This path can be overgrown. You will need to go round some large trees.
(8) Continuing on this way, you’ll enter a beautiful pine forest. Join a path marked with a Red Triangle and follow it uphill to the left. Continue straight ahead without following the markings that veer off to the right. The path descends to the Ruisseau du Chahalot. Cross a road and reach the stream.
(9) Cross the stream as soon as possible to reach a path marked with a Red Circle on the other side and continue until you reach the impressive Chahalot Well. A few metres further on, head up to the right of the Fork in the road.
(10) Cross a wide track, continue straight on until you reach a wide track marked with a Red Circle and take it by turning right.
When this main track turns right, continue straight on along the path ahead. You will then come across the Red Triangle markings of the Saltwater Route, which leads to the Trou des Glanes.
(11) Take the road on the left which crosses the Bouvade stream.
(12) When this small road leading to Moutrot turns left, take the path branching off to the right and cross the Bouvade stream, which is slightly to the left of the path. Let the path marked with a Red Triangle descend to the left and continue straight on, climbing slightly. At the end of this climb, you will come to a path marked with a Red Triangle and Red Disc; follow it to the car park on the D904 (S/E).
