8 November 2021 – Orba Castle

 

12 of us for today’s walk

Unfortunately Jan could not do it

It seemed very strange to be walking without her

Also David and Sandra’s last walk for three months

Under post Brexit rules they can only be in Spain for 90 days in each 180 days

We shall certainly miss them, and look forward to seeing them again in 2022

We did however welcome Alan to the group

It is eighteen months since we last did this walk

And it seems to have gotten higher and steeper since then

I think it was a challenge for most of us

But well worth it for the fantastic views from the top

And what a great picnic spot

The half hour break went all too quickly

Then down the steep and difficult track

Which everyone seemed to manage without any problems

More difficult than usual to find the track, which was very overgrown

And a relief to finally reach the bottom without incident

Tina looking particularly pleased to be on the flat again

And a very pleasant walk back to Parcent



Stats

Time taken – 5.5 hours

Distance – 12 km

Total ascent – 415 metres
