The weekly forecast for Sunday and
Monday was for heavy rain
I choose this walk because it gave me some options
If it was raining at the start we could go to the cooperativa
If it rained during the walk I could cut it short
We had heavy rain on Sunday and a
forecast of more for Monday
On Sunday morning I was considering
cancelling the walk
I received a couple of emails asking if I was going to walk
By late Sunday the forecast was a
little better so we decided to risk it
I was pleasantly surprised when all 22
turned up to walk
This included Julie and Don who arrived
in Spain yesterday
The sun made an appearance as we started the walk
But the temperature was considerably
lower than recently
So most of us were wearing coats or jackets
Some were tempted to remove a top
layer of clothes
But not for long as the wind was very
cold
We tended to walk faster than usual due to
the cold wind
The sun was replaced by a grey sky as
we arrived at the Alcalali mirador for our banana break
So we had a much shorter break than usual
We had a second break at the Ermita as
we were well ahead of schedule
We finished the walk in 2.5 hours, half an hour faster than normal
Temperature – 13 to 16c
Time taken – 2.5 hours
Distance – 9km
