The start of the hike is nice, but then you end up on a paved road, which is much less pleasant.
Halfway there, we encountered three dogs that were barking and seemed really aggressive. It doesn't make you want to go back.
This hike is perfect for mountain biking in dry weather.

Very well, just specify the starting point in the description. A bit of busy road at the end and slippery path when it rains, but passable.

After about 2 kilometres, at a right-angle bend, three vicious dogs were intimidating. Fortunately, all three were tied to the end of a long chain. We crossed our fingers, hoping that the chains would not break under the repeated assaults of these three furious beasts. And yet I like dogs, but if they had been untied, they would have really scared me.

Good hike, the only downside being the last section along the busy main road (although the area is protected as there is a cycle path to the return point).

HIKE ON 6 MAY 2018 AFTERNOON

Too much tarmac for my liking, as I prefer the woods.
Well done to those who did it, and thank you!

Very well signposted, clean and pleasant route between the countryside and the village. There are a series of ascents and descents, but they are not difficult. The very last section along a busy road (but on a wide pavement) is less interesting.
