Starting point: Divion, Domaine de la Biette car park
(S) Go around the ponds on the right and find a footbridge after the second pond.
(1). Cross it and follow the path, which quickly turns right up a small hill. Continue along this same path to reach the entrance to the campsite, then the Chaussée Brunehaut. Follow it a few metres to the left and find a grassy path on the right.
(2). Follow this path along the right bank of the Biette. It is well marked and eventually reaches a footbridge.
(3) Cross over and turn left. Continue along the river. After about 300 metres, the path turns right uphill, then left to reach a wider path opposite a farm building.
(4) Turn right, continuing uphill. Pass two wide paths that branch off to the right. Fifty metres after the second one, you will find a grassy path on the left.
(5) Take this path (which can be muddy at times!). Ignore the path on the right (you can also take it and turn left at the end to reach point 4) and you will come to a T-junction. Turn right and you will come to another T-junction.
(6) Turn left (Chemin de Béthune) to reach a small road (D 86). Cross it to take the path opposite.
600 m further on, a path joins from the left.
(7) Take the path opposite (marked in yellow "coteaux de la Biette"), a wide path that is a little muddy in places, which will take you to Diéval. Ignore the paths leading off to the right or left to reach the first houses.
(8) At the Y-junction, turn left and walk to a house with a chapel above the garage. Leave the yellow markings (they turn left into Rue de Pernes) and turn right. Ignore Rue de Marest on the right and walk to a T-junction.
(9) Turn left onto Rue Monseigneur Eloy and continue for a few metres.
(10) Opposite No. 316 (just before Salle Ste Thérèse), turn right onto a small road that becomes a footpath and descends to Rue de Brunemont. Follow it to the left and at the Y-junction, turn left onto Rue du Baudet.
(11) Under the church, take the stairs leading to the cemetery. Cross it and, on exiting, turn right twice to go down Rue du Huit Mai. Just after the school, turn right onto Rue du 19 Mars 1962 to join the D 941.
(12) Cross it (be careful, even on the pedestrian crossing!). On the other side, cross the beautiful footbridge over the Biette. Continue along the narrow path uphill until you reach a small road. Follow it to the left for about 700 metres until you reach a fork (hiking arrow).
(13). Take the path downhill on the left (it is slippery when wet). Ignore the path coming from the left.
(14) Continue straight ahead, keeping to the left-hand side, which has recently been badly filled in. It sticks to your feet but is less wet than the right-hand side. You will arrive at the edge of the woods
(15) Turn left onto Chemin de Lille, along the edge (difficult path in wet weather) until you reach the D86E (oratory opposite).
See practical information
(16) Leave the "Coteaux de la Biette" hike (which goes left towards Ourton on the road) and take the right path opposite.
(17) At the first crossroads, continue straight ahead until you reach a second crossroads.
(18). Take the Chaussée Brunehaut on the left. After a few hills, it climbs back up to Divion at the Cité du Transvaal (the old houses have been demolished and new ones are being built in October 2015).
(19) At the crossroads, after the gas installation, turn right onto Rue Marty Chatelain. Turn left twice and you will reach the D941, opposite the pharmacy. Cross carefully and go down Rue Pierre Bachelet opposite. Pass in front of the supermarket and shortly afterwards turn left into the housing estate.
(20) Just before the end of the street, don't miss the small path on the right that leads to the ponds. Reach the ponds and follow them on the right until you reach the car park.
