This update is offered with thanks following the journey made by Mark and Diane Stringfellow from New Zealand.
Mark and Diane drew attention to the difficulty of navigating through the Clairvaux forest but their comments are true for hiking in any forested area.
Signposting or tree marking is very unreliable as the signs are either hidden by foliage or the the trees felled. This is a situation where as a fall back you may need to use the distance measures from the instructions (remember 15 minutes walking is approximately 1000m) or if you have a GPS enabled phone and the downloaded waypoints then carefully monitor your progress between waypoints and if necessary set your own route to the next point.
