In any case if the adventure was very stressful, the course was simply beautiful and full of surprises.
Thanks to Charles Henry for his salvation and his accompanying ravito. A trek route
masterfully by our two knights of the Hills Country, Pascal & Manu! A thousand thank you to them for their warm welcome and for this day to mark the body for a few days but minds forever! What a sublime gift to the Brotherhood, Knights still THANKS!
Located north of Wallon Hainaut, on the edge of the Flemish region to 50 km away from Lille Country Hills is a true land of groves and groves attractive rural tradition that cultivates a playful ... witchcraft ... Indeed in 1974, the painter Jacques Vandewattyne launched the manifesto of the folk art movement intended to develop and transmit to the popular traditions of which initiatives will be the path of the Strange. In 1984, he was born, but is it better to talk of the night, as the characters that mark the trail are part of the night world: witches, werewolf, devil and other monsters straight out of imagination and popular traditions. Sculptures, bas-reliefs and other works await you in this open air museum where the unusual alongside the extraordinary ...

the record of Christopher Knight:
Yesterday we were 14 knights of the Brotherhood of Horizons to set off on the trail of the strange in the Pays des Collines led by the two Belgian brothers Pascal and Manu, a native of this region.
And this trail aptly named! One hundred
strange creatures Jallon the first half of the course, among many witches toothless smile evil, black metal dragons, werewolves hidden between trees and other sculptures monstrous and improbable.
All in a good layer of snow and fog equally white and persistent. All
offered a table really ... strange.
Strange, too, we were more to be suffering from bewitchment between the 25th and 35th km. Big blow
slack for me, no more punch, legs bewitched!
Fortunately, an exorcist appeared at the 40th km in the person of Charles-Henri, who offered us potion antidotes stamped Gods Leffe and Goodale, once blessed by Friar Tuck.
Antidotes had a miraculous effect for many of us.
The machine was restarted, we were disenchanted trail of the strange serenity to attack the second half of the course.
We left the campaign Ellezelles to reach Mountains Frasnes in woods with many slopes well muddy and slippery. Our guides
Pascal and Manu did their best to make us enjoy beautiful slides that have sometimes ended with posterior footprints in the snow and frozen mud.
Then night fell, the mist was still densified and the atmosphere was again strange! A string of 15
loupiottes pierced the fog in search of our itinerary.
Friar Tuck implored heaven to arise a third refueling.
Unfortunately, the miracle was partial, only the word "ravito" appeared suddenly on the ground marked in orange (true!).
But with food, no trace!
We have struggled together to extricate ourselves from these woods despite the relentless forces of evil.
And knights victorious in that we could reach our coaches after 9am control !
Pascal and Manu had to do a shot master: they not only showed us this beautiful land of hills but we will leave it enabled all alive and together, assisted by Olivier knight who, as usual, has never left and disarm sought to motivate all his knights!
As the saying goes Picard trail of strange
"if the nut that lives in your astèz Gauk eul cauk'mark, you should know about qu'cha drift!"
(if the next night you have nightmares, you know where it comes from)
