16
of us on today’s walk
This is probably as many as we would want on any walk
It was cloudy today and more comfortable than last week
We had two new members walking with us today
They
were a Dutch couple called Marlies and Franc
Paul and Chris also joined us for the first time since the summer break
David asked me about our wargame, and I bored
him with too much information during our banana break.
Gary
and Tina are still in “holiday mode” and we are very impressed at how many restaurants
and bars they visit each week.
Despite the recent new members everyone seems to be getting on really well and the banter was very good
There has been a lot of work done on the river banks at this part of the walk, including a new system of tracks
I was a little concerned, but fortunately had my satnav to help me find the right direction
With
such a large group we will need a back marker on the longer and more
complicated walks
We had frequent water stops because of the heat, and you can see that everyone seemed to be enjoying the walk
The
only time it was quiet was when we crossed the field with the bee hives
Not surprising the three rivers we crossed were completely dry
We
have now done this walk half a dozen times, and I am more confident even in the
difficult parts
Consequently I was chatting too much, and not paying attention to where we were going
Until we reached a road and I realised I had missed a turn
Everyone was most amused, and particularly Barry
It was nice for everyone to be able to sit together in the Parcent cooperativa
Walking back to the car we passed this very friendly little fellow. I am not sure whether he is a boar, but he was certainly not “wild”. More like a friendly little puppy,.
