6 June 2022 – Jalon Valley


15 of us for today’s walk

Should have been 18

One late cancellation

Two couldn’t find Parcent car park

To be fair it is not easy to find if you are not familiar with the area

Paul’s wife Natalie joined us for the first time

Hope she was not put off by the higher than usual temperatures

We also had a new member with Marie on her first walk with the group

I asked for feedback whether anyone thought it was too hot to walk

Was relieved that no one had any problems

We had planned to visit the cooperativa in Parcent for our after walk drinks

But I was not happy to be told that they have closed for a short holiday

I had arranged to meet Jan there after the walk, as we were not aware it was closed

I tried to ring Jan, but she had already left home to walk into Parcent

The only bar open was Siremar

We went past the cooperativa hoping that Jan might be waiting for us

But we received a message that she found the bar closed and walked back home

It was a bit much to ask her to walk down again

So I walked home and took her to the bar in the car

It was nice for her to meet up with everyone again, having missed walks since her accident.

Time taken – 3 hours

Distance – 8 km

Total ascent – 120 metres

Temperature – 19-29c
