This route is brilliant – a bit challenging, and there’s a dangerous descent due to erosion this winter. I loved it; I just had to detour via Canapville to make it 21 km.

We encountered several obstacles along the way (fallen trees), which meant we had to take a bit of a detour, but apart from that, it went very well. However, there is a lovely picnic table in Moutiers Hubert near the Touques, 50 metres from the town hall.

As for how busy the route is, it’s actually a bit of a mixed bag – some sections are very busy, whilst others are completely quiet.

Thanks BellesPortes111, great route
