Itinerary description

Exploring the Mormal Forest south of Locquignol, exiting towards 'Les grandes Pâtures' (former feudal horse breeding/feeding pastures), back into the forest via La Touraille intersection (and small hotel), heading north-east, then slowly back to close the circle. Accesible forest roads (mostly paved; infrequently dirt/gravel), plus initial main roads (dir. Le Quesnoy). Intersects with quite a few hiking paths, some of which are probably well worth exploring on their own.

Waypoints

large intersection (incl. a map stand & tourist info)
