We cancelled last Monday due to the rain
And it looked likely we would have to do so again this week
Particularly as there were reports of flooding only 24 hours earlier
However we decided to meet and leave it to everyone to decide on the morning
We were very pleased that 13 of the original 15 turned up
We decided to do the valley walk from Jalon to Parcent
And to only use the valley road system
Lucky we did as the surrounding fields were flooded
And we could not cross the river at Alcalali
The river was also fast flowing at Parcent, but not very deep
Two brave souls did cross, but not on the return journey
The rest of us did a detour on the road, and kept our feet dry
We had two new members for the walk
Suzanne is a new resident and lives in Lliber
Lynne has a holiday home in Alcalali
Not the best conditions for their first walk
But both seemed to enjoy it
In fact everyone seemed very pleased to be walking again
But I hope that we can soon get back to our regular walking programme
Time taken – 5 hours
Distance – 15 km
Temperature – 9-16c
