17 October 2022 – Montgo Iberian Settlement

 

There were 18 of us on today’s walk

I was looking forward to this one

Because it is nearly three years since we last did it

This is one of a number of cancelled walks due to Covid

There should have been 20 on the walk

But two cancelled on Sunday due to the heat

When we started the walk it was cloudy with a pleasant breeze

Probably about 22c, pretty normal for this time of year

This made for very comfortable walking

Even the climb to our picnic site was not too challenging

It was still cloudy when we arrived and almost chilly

But the sky cleared as we had our picnic

And the sun was soon shinning

It also made for better photos

As always everyone was reluctant to restart the walk

It was only a short walk to the remains of the settlement

Where I shared my very limited knowledge of the history

Then I had to find the very overgrown route off the hill

This is where my satnav earns its keep

Lovely walking back through the woods to the cars

Time taken – 5 hours

Distance – 9 km

Total ascent – 309 metres

Temperature – 22-25c
