27 February – Pinos Fossil Walk

 

The forecast was sunny, the morning was cloudy and cold

But we soon warmed up as we started to climb

Not only mountain bikes today, but also motor bikes

We also met a couple who had turned back because there was a bee hive on the track

Fortunately not on our track and we reached the picnic stop without any problem

From Monday bars will be open for terrace service

And we can meet outside with two other people

But we will not be able to start the Thursday Explorers until we can have at least ten

There seems to be a lot of work going on at “the brothel”

We used the new route which avoids it completely

It adds about half an hour to the walk

However we still reached our picnic site at 1300

By now it was warm and very pleasant for our lunch

But it remained hazy which was not good for the photographs

We passed one other couple, but much quieter than I expected for a Saturday

Jan forgot to bring an extra apple for the donkeys

But they well well supplied with food anyway

Lovely to do another “proper” walk and get back into the mountains
