Hello,
Being familiar with this site in Oignies, and having walked it several times over the last few years,
I wanted to go on this new hike yesterday, 26 March, with several friends (in the opposite direction, I should point out)

Two big surprises in the two new sections
- at point 6, access to and walking around the two small ponds is prohibited (protected nature reserve, Eden62, etc.).
- The section between points 5 and 3 is inaccessible (the path is blocked at the foot of the viewpoint),

Although a little disappointed, we still had a good time.
