Itinerary description
Based on https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/randonnee-a-bailieux-3891682?utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=share&utm_source=187607
First part, to the village of Bourlers, is via a busy road, with high speed traffic. Not recommended when hiking with children, or even a dog.
I tried to find a shortcut to not pass through the town, but that is not to be recommended ☹️
Once passed Bourlers, this is a nice trail, mainly through forests.
Excellent for naked hiking, at least the first half. Later in the day I did encounter quite a few people.
As usual, waypoints are markers for the cloth-free parts:
- beach: start of 'safe' zone
- risk: time to cover up
Reminder: this is Belgium; you could get into trouble when seen naked in a public area.
Encounters:
- Couple at farm: was already covered up because I just passed a farm
- 3 hikers at crossroads: here too, already covered up, ready to cross the road
- big crowd with kids, shortly after outdoor school: at least 20 people, of all ages; kids were loud enough to be noticed way upfront; had plenty of time to put on my kilt
- couple shortly thereafter: spotted naked from only a short distance; only had time to hide behind my kilt; but no negative reactions
- 2 bikers resting before the town of Presgaux: was able to spot them before they spotted me; put on my kilt
- family with 2 kids and a dog between Presgaux and Baileux: the path between the two villages runs through the forest, but is one straight line; saw the family from over 1km, as did they; kilt on from the moment I saw them
