Very nice outing usually but not great here: the singles are full of ruts and still very muddy and poorly (or not) maintained: too many brambles and nettles…. And I’m not talking about the puncture….

A small national forest but rich in fauna and flora. You can walk there on well-developed paths and enjoy the many small ponds that dot the forest.
