No limit to numbers meeting outside, so we could increase our group to 11
It was lovely to welcome Barry and Linda again on their first visit to Spain since October last year.
We also welcomed Phil for his first walk with the group
And we made two new, four legged, friends during the walk
We had been concerned with the weather forecast of 31c
However it was a pleasant 24c when we met at 0900
The valley was at its colourful best despite the higher summer temperatures
It was a real delight to be able to walk in such a lovely area
The only climb was out of the river bed at the dam
We took every opportunity to have a water break in any shaded area
And it was pleasantly cool walking through the tunnel
We had our banana stop in this shaded area just after the tunnel
It was lovely to catch up on news from the UK with Barry and Linda
It was also nice to see Eva, who has missed a couple of walks recently
And Phil, who is a friend of Paul, seemed to fit in well
Jan distributed the sweeties before we set off again
The hotel seemed to be completed, but not yet open
I missed a turning, which Barry was quick to point out to everyone
Fortunately we could use an alternative path without having to go back
Tina shared her spray bottle, which was very welcome
The temperature had risen to 29c as we returned to Tormos
So a cold drink on the shaded terrace of Bar Tormos was a welcome end to a very pleasant morning walk.
