But, like Robert Frost, though tempted by a figurative woods that was dark and deep, I had miles (many miles!) to go before I sleep.
I stayed on the N645 for about 23 kilometers, mostly flat, except the last three or four, on the approach to Lierneux, which were noticeably uphill.
There was a very steep, though very short, steep climb out of Lierneux, followed by a more moderate, though still strenuous, climb of about 950 feet in 7.5 kilometers to Baraque de Fraiture.
