27 September 2021 – Jalon Circular Walk


 15 on today’s walk

That included Paul’s daughter Naomi, who is here on a short visit

It was also nice to see Colin again who has returned from the UK

This is our last Summer Walk of this year

Next week we start our new Monday Ramblers 4-6 hour day walks

In preparation we did this slightly longer, and higher, circular walk

Last time we did it towards Parcent, this time in reverse

It was much easier and more enjoyable this way

I was directed to do the “sweetie round” as the terrain was difficult

It was nice to get away from the roads in the valley, and to enjoy the scenic view during our banana break

For new members this is the first walk “off the beaten track”

And we were fortunate to have such good weather to enjoy it

Jan did back marker, and it was necessary in this terrain

I have also asked everyone to walk behind me and in front of Jan

This allowed me to regulate the pace to ensure that everyone enjoyed the walk

Everyone understood, and Jan enjoyed using her whistle

All but one of the summer group have signed up for the longer day walks

We are really looking forward to doing some old favourites after such a long break

We also hope to see some of our UK based members again

We ended the walk with a nice drink at Bar Claudia in Jalon
