This loop was carried out with electrically assisted trekking VTCs. These bikes are very close to mountain bikes. Lots of very varied paths, grass, gravel, stones in the woods or on the plain.

Magnificent little pond for lunch or a break, or to get to know the many mallards resting on the bank. The pond has a picnic table as well as several benches around it.
