We started our summer walks early this year due to higher than usual temperatures
We had to cancel last week’s walk due to a forecast of 31c
We planned to do the same walk this week, but starting at 0900
But with temperatures forecast of 29c we converted it to a valley walk
I was pleasantly surprised that eleven regulars signed up for the summer walks this year
We also had five new members walking for the first time
And it was nice to see Brenda, who has not walked with the group for some months
I was sporting my brand new shorts, exposing my legs for the first time in years
Quite a lot of the walk was in shade, making it very pleasant
And when we did turn down into the valley it was downhill most of the way
Thanks to Tina for this full length photo, showing my white legs in all of their glory
We had our banana stop at the Alcalali Ermita
Even after two hours it was still quite pleasant with the breeze
And there is a little scattered shade at the picnic tables
And even more in the church naya
It is unusual to have so many “newbies” on one walk
And I had increased the numbers to 18 to allow everyone to walk
P18
So I was very pleased that everyone seemed to get on so well
A very promising start to our shorter, and earlier, summer walks
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 8 km
Total ascent – 150 metres
Temperature – 19-29c
