31 January 2022 – Green Horse


The forecast was a high of 21c, but we needed jackets at start of walk

However by the time we reached the first water stop jackets were removed

Jan’s first walk in since December due to illness

We should have had 16, but only 13 walked

Of those that did there were a lot of happy faces to reach the top and banana break

We have had a lot of trouble with illness this year

Two walks cancelled due to covid 19 positive tests

So it was great to be out walking again

Particularly to do this favourite walk

And on a lovely warm day with a cool breeze

For most of the group this was the first time they did this walk

And I think they were just as impressed as we were first time we did it

There was major trimming in the woods on the way down

But we were allowed through with no problem

It appears they are building up the path with the cut wood

We also noticed a lot of new track markings we had not seen before

This is a very popular walk and it is good it will be more easily accessible

It took us a little longer to complete than usual

Partly because we had longer breaks to enjoy the sun and views

Partly because a few needed a slower pace

But everyone enjoyed the walk, which is the important thing

We have suspended the end of walk bar visit

This is because of the high incidence of covid 19 here in Spain

We felt it was necessary, but we did miss the chat in the bar at the end

Time taken – 5.5 hours

Distance – 9 km

Total ascent – 370 metres

Temperature – 10-21c
