We had not anticipated how busy this walk would be on Easter Monday
There were so many cars parking was really difficult
Throughout the walk we were overtaken by faster groups
This is a popular walk, and we often pass one or two groups
But never before anything like today
No doubt the excellent weather helped
There were sixteen of us walking today
For many it was their first Bernia walk
The forat is always a tight fit, but more so when traffic is going both ways
And the ledge was packed
But the view was as spectacular as always
We all needed a break after the hard climb
No more climbing after the forat, but rough going
So we needed an early picnic break due to the heat
This is my favourite part of the walk
Helping hand just before we reached the fort
Unfortunately Jan had a bad fall and broke her wrist
A passing Spanish doctor called the emergency services who sent a helecoptor
It arrived within 15 minutes and took Jan to Alicante hospital
An exciting, but painful, end to our walk
Time taken – 6 hours
Distance – 9 km
Total ascent – 400 metres
Temperature – 13-22c
