Good loop in the forest, on a sunny Sunday morning in September.

A nice course, almost totally in the forest and with the autumn colors that were appearing, it's really pretty!

Visorando announces the following characteristics: 8 kilometers, 3 hours of walking and 319m of elevation gain versus 323m of negative elevation gain. Regarding the distance, we did exactly what was announced : not one meter more, not one meter less !

About the hiking time, we realized the loop in 2h20minutes, without hurrying, with two watering breaks and photo stops here and there.

Despite the fact that we are in the undergrowth most of the way, it is not at all a monotonous way .

There are serious climbs (fortunately Blue was there to pull me with his new pulling harness), descents, stony parts and other more grassy.

There is no crowd, but we crossed people practicing various activities: traileurs, mountain-bikers, riders .. indeed the ground is  rather dedicated to these different sport practices!

It is therefore possible to release the collies, but we kept an ear on alert because even if the frequency of the encounters was low, the distractions were unusual and very stimulating for them!

At the end of the route, the paths are lined with meadow, and we cross a lot of horses, donkeys and cows! It's not bad to be aware of it if you  have curious and adventurous dogs like ours.

We will probably repeat this course that we all enjoyed. It is also a good plan in case of high heat because it is very shaded and it allows dogs to walk without suffering from the sun !

Here is the description of the loop and photos that go with the expedition :)
