It takes 90 minutes to reach the start of this walk, a much
longer drive than usual. When I read
the weather forecast was for overcast skies and showers I was not very
keen. But Jan assured me it would not
rain before 4pm. The rain started as we
reached Benidorm, well before the start of the walk!
The rain stopped before we reached the car park, and
although overcast the scenery is pretty impressive.
I forgot to take my camera, so I am grateful to Dave, Mike
and David for providing the photographs on this blog. Dave took this particularly impressive
scenic view.
There is quite a long uphill climb at the start of the walk,
but the tracks are very good and the climb gradual. I would not say it was easy, but no harder than last week’s
Pedreguer walk.
By the time we stopped for our picnic lunch we had completed
the climb. It was a little sooner than
Peter had intended. But it was
1pm. And there was grumbling in the
ranks, both verbal and tummies. And it
was a particularly suitable spot, with good views.
Just
as well we did stop at 1pm, because it started to rain again just after we
finished our picnic. Not very heavy rain, but enough to get the
waterproofs on.
Despite the rain everyone managed a smile for the camera –
very English. Unfortunately there is
not a photograph of Jan and I in our large rain capes, which proved very
popular with one and all. Or at least
they caused a lot of comment!
