19 January 2026 – Parcent Circular

 

I was very impressed that 15 of us turned up for today’s walk

The weather has been very wet all week

And today’s weather forecast was no different

However we had to cancel the first walk of the year two weeks ago

And I was very reluctant to do so again

Quite a few members had indicated they would rather meet whatever the weather

So I changed the planned walk from Alcalali to Parcent

This is because the bar in Parcent is much more suitable for a wet day

Lucky I did because it started to rain before we could even start the walk

So we went directly to bar Cooperativa instead

We waited for about half an hour for the rain to stop

As soon as it did we set off on a figure of 8 walk

The aim was to remain as close as possible to shelter should it start to rain again

The first half was to the Parcent font, which we managed ok

We then set off for Alcalali ermita, but it started to rain just as we got there

We waited to see if the rain might stop again

But it looked like it might get heavier

So we donned our water proofs and set off back to Parcent

Fortunately it did not get any worse

Though we were quite wet by the time we reached Parcent

We returned to the Cooperative for a hot drink and to dry out

Everyone agreed that it was better to risk the weather, than remain at home looking out at it.
