22 of us walking today
Only one cancellation because of the heat
I had expected more to cancel
Once more I changed the walk because
of the weather forecast
We should have done Lliber to Senija
But that is a much longer walk and no option to cut it short
This one has more road climbing
But also has the option of cutting it
short by following the road into Lliber
There was a lot more shade than I
expected
And once more we had a water stop
every half hour
The walk was certainly not as
challenging as I feared it might be
So when we got to the banana break I
decided to take the full route
This involves following the track
around the hill back to Lliber
I was quite surprised that we finished
the walk in exactly three hours
Our numbers were boosted by four non residents
Duncan and Marilyn are here for the
rest of June
As also are Julie and Don
Both couples have been walking with us
for some time
And it is always nice to be able to
welcome them back during their visit
I often remark that the constant
chatter makes any walk less challenging than when walking alone
This also seems to apply to walking
when the temperatures are higher
I think we all managed the walk
without any real problems
We did a small detour to the village cemetery
as we approached Lliber
We have been before, but some of the
group had not
It is a lovely, peaceful place
Always clean and tidy, unlike many of the overgrown ones in the UK
Once more we visited bar Placa at the
end of the walk
They have a lovely, well shaded
outside area
Once more we were the only ones using
it
So we could spread out and not disturb
other customers
They always make us feel very welcome
And it is a very pleasant way to relax after the walk.
Temperature – 21 to 29c
