I found myself grumpy from the start: difficulty finding the starting point and no possibility of parking properly (is this related to the season and the tall grass?). In any case, the tall grass, nettles and brambles were in the path that crosses the Tertre meadow between 3 and 4. The path was not used or maintained at all.
Then I couldn't find marker 6 or the path to take to get to 7. After wandering around on paths that were almost impassable, I went back to 5 to reach 7 and 2 directly by road. It's a shame because the weather was nice and the Perche hills are beautiful around here.
