27 signed up for today’s walk
This included one new member
Sandra is Wayne’s sister
So we are fast becoming a family
walking group
Two of the group did not turn up for
the walk
And a further one had to abandon the
walk for a minor health problem
Fortunately a friend agreed to return to Lliber with her
So the rest of us were able to
complete the walk
20 years ago this week Jan and I moved
to Spain
Within the previous week we both
retired from work
We also completed the sale of our
house in Salisbury
On 17 March 2006 we caught the Portsmouth to Santander ferry
On 18 March 2006 we arrived in Parcent
to start our new life in Spain
We had chosen the Jalon Valley because
it is such a popular walking area
We also knew about the Costa Blanca
Mountain Walkers who offer two walks each week
Within a few weeks we had joined CBMW and attended our first walk
We made a lot of new friends,
including Gerald and Maureen, who had their own private walking group
They invited us to join and for the next 10 years we walked with them every Monday
In 2016 we formed our own U3A walking
group, which met every Thursday
Two years later we formed a second U3A
group to replace our Monday group
We have walked with a very large
number of like minded people during those 20 years
We have shared thousands of happy
memories and consider many of them friends
We have recorded all of those walk on
this, and previous, blogs
So I can confirm that we have shared 861 walks – this one included
Temperature – 14 to 20c
Time taken – 4 hours
Distance – 10km
