It is true that the signage is confusing in places. As for the route, it is very good up to CANEHAN and St SULPPICE, as you have to walk along a very busy road.

Good evening, Lamberphil,
Thank you for your feedback on the hike. I have corrected the distance between the (4) and the three-way junction, and I have also added a WPT (5) to reassure other hikers.
As for the difference between a path and a trail, the debate is ongoing, and everyone agrees that they are right. How can we find the exact terms? The English language is complex!
Thank you for pointing out this small error.

Excellent hike; very varied landscapes.
In the hike description, point (4) says "After 100 m, at the three-way junction..." Shouldn't that be after 1000 m?
A small suggestion: could you please differentiate between a trail and a path?
Many thanks for your hard work.

A pleasant hike, except that the forestry work has ruined the paths and the vegetation has grown enormously, but otherwise very pleasant.

Hello,
Just a quick note: make sure you cover your legs when hiking, as the vegetation has grown a lot this winter and the paths in the woods are covered with brambles.
