Security

The route follows small secondary roads where you will be really quiet in terms of traffic.

Sometimes you have to take slightly busier roads to reach these peaceful little roads, but they remain very much in the minority!


In terms of safety, we remain on small roads which are certainly very quiet, but the rules for cyclists still apply.


For the hiking portion, wear good shoes and don't leave without water.
