I took the opportunity during a walk in the area to try out the path between points 11 and 12, which I wasn’t familiar with.
And with good reason, as it isn’t a path at all, but a passageway through cultivated fields.
I quite liked it (lovely view of Fresnicourt) but I think it might be confusing for novice walkers. What’s more, as the weather warms up, the crops will start to grow and the path will no doubt become impassable.
I think it would be a good idea to point out that you can head straight into Fresnicourt by turning right at the junction after point 10.
Kind regards
