26 walking today
I had expected the numbers to drop at
the temperatures rose
But it is nice that so many want to continue to walk each week despite the heat
We have adjusted to the higher
temperatures as best we can
I am trying to find routes which do not
involve hills or too much exposure
It is also important to have some
shade for our half hour water stops
And even more for our longer banana
stops
The font at Parcent is one such, with
lots of shade
And Alcalali Ermita is another
It does mean that we use both a lot
But that is better than the
alternative
It was nice to have Martin walking
with us again
His last walk was about 18 months ago
I liked his response to my question
why he came back after so long
He said he was because we seemed to be
having so much fun on Facebook
We also had a couple of visitors
I agreed the visitors when it seemed not many regulars would be walking
When the late replies came in I was
not prepared to cancel the visitors
It is nice that so many want to walk
with the group
But it does cause problems too
We are welcome at less bars, and find it difficult to sit together as a group
This is a shame as I feel it is very
important to maintain a friendly and inclusive group
It also makes it more difficult to
coordinate payment of one group bill
For the second week the bill was larger than the cash collected.
Temperature – 22 to 29c
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9km
