Circular route around Biesme-sous-Thuin
As the title suggests, this circular walk takes you through the Thuin countryside around the village of Biesme-sous-Thuin. A few wooded sections interspersed with a mix of paths, tracks, small roads and a bit of the RAVeL route, set in the rather undulating countryside around the Biesmelle, make for a walk with scenery varied enough to break the monotony that usually sets in over long distances in the countryside.The route passes by two former railway stations and an old mill, and offers a fine view of Thuin’s belfry at the first access point to the RAVeL.

Aulne Abbey, Bois du Grand Bon Dieu and Hourpes through the forest
A little countryside, a little forest, a little town, a little of the Sambre with a lock and an old drawbridge, Aulne Abbey, Thuin, Hourpes with its strange castle and, to finish, lots of forest: that's what's on the programme for this walk.

The first half is generally downhill (from 176 metres to 110 metres), whilst the second half is a steady climb back to the club.

Loop between Bomerée and Jamioulx
A pleasant circular walk in the woods near Charleroi. Discover part of the Eau d'Heure valley and the charming village of Jamioulx.
The Eau d'Heure is a small river that flows into the Sambre at Marchienne-au-Pont. It gets its name from its unique ability to rise in an hour and fall just as quickly.
In the footsteps of two emperors and three Auvergnats in Beaumont
Legend has it that Charles V, on his way to Beaumont, was somewhat roughened up by three men from Auvergne. Upon arriving in town, they were recognised by the emperor, swiftly tried and immediately hanged.
One of them is said to have exclaimed: ‘Beaumont, city of misfortune: arrived at midday, hanged by one o’clock.’
On 14 June 1815, Napoleon and his troops, en route to Waterloo, spent the night in Beaumont.
Discover Beaumont, the villages of Barbençon and Solre-Saint-Géry, and the Hante(s) valley
Circuit of the Salamandre from Cousolre
A walk for those nostalgic for the little mountains, with their valleys, plateaus and streams spanned by old stone bridges. A walk for lovers of calm and nature. And as a gift for children, lots of animals: hens, roosters, ducks, buzzards, goats, sheep and, with a little patience, squirrels and roe deer in the woods... A visit to the Tower will bring a hint of culture.
