Car park near the bridge over the Souchez, 298 Rue du Percot, Liévin.
(S) From the car park, cross the Souchez river, then take the path on the left that runs parallel to the cycle path.
Follow the cycle path westwards to the intersection, then go straight on and follow the Souchez (on your left).
Follow the path for about 500 metres.
(1) Turn right, almost in the opposite direction, onto a small hairpin path that climbs gently uphill.
When climbing slag heap 80, the path splits. Stay on the path on the side of the slag heap, which continues to climb gently, keeping the Souchez below in view.
(2) At the top, take the path on the left to stay on the plateau.
A few dozen metres further on, you can enjoy a new viewpoint on a small plateau.
At the end of the plateau, take the path on the right to descend the slag heap, continue straight ahead, then further on at the crossroads, take a path on the right to complete the descent of the slag heap.
When you reach the houses, continue straight ahead (with the houses on your left) to arrive at the edge of Rue du Percot.
(3) There is a path running alongside Rue du Percot on your right, but it is not very passable, so I recommend catching up with Rue du Percot and turning right (south).
(S) Pass the cycle path and, once you are almost back at the starting point, turn left (east) onto the path following the Souchez.
Follow the Souchez for over 1 km until you reach Rue Henri d'Arras.
(4) Cross Rue Henri d'Arras (be careful, this is a busy street), enter the park in front of you, continue straight ahead and go around the pond on the right (pond on your left).
You will then rejoin the Souchez, which you follow for about 100 metres until you reach a car park.
Turn left and head back in the other direction, south-west, but on the path along the other bank of the Souchez (the river on your left this time).
Follow the Souchez for about 300 metres.
(5) Turn right onto a staircase and, a few dozen metres further on, turn left onto the cycle path (shared with pedestrians).
A few metres further on, cross Rue Henri d'Arras and stay on the cycle path (Bassin Minier cycle route).
(6) About 50 metres after Rue d'Arras, turn slightly to your left, leave the cycle path and take a small path. A little further on, at the intersection, turn slightly to your right.
The path leads into the woods of slag heap 80A. Continue straight ahead for less than 1 km until you reach La Souchez and the starting point. Continue straight ahead to return to the car park (E).
