Sue led this new walk which included part of our old
favourite, but not a visit to the fort.
Fortunately the weather was much better than last week.
Our first stop was to enjoy this new (to us) view of Montgo
and the coast
Peter, Sue and Tom
seem fascinated as Ken (in police hat) does something interesting. Mind it does not take a lot to abandon
walking to stand (or better still sit) and look.
David looks very masterful, but not to Pat and Sylvia who are
too busy nattering to even enjoy the viewpoint.
The walk was on very good paths, except for this one section
which was downhill on a badly eroded path.
It also involved a little scramble, but nothing beyond the
ability of us band of intrepid explorers.
We even lost the rear guard on this tangled dry river bed,
when they fell too far behind engrossed in talking and lost sight of the group
ahead.
Right on time we reached Granadella beach for our picnic
lunch, exactly 1pm. There is much abuse
heaped upon any leader who gets us to this most important part of the walk
late. No one seems to mind if we are
late getting back to the cars, as long we are not delayed our lunch
Tom looks like the “old man of the sea”, overlooked by a
hungry little bird waiting for him to get his lunch out and share it with him .
It was very pleasant sitting on the beach, and no one was
over keen to start walking again. But
it was cooler than of late, and we were getting a little chilled. It was about 14c, so I don’t suppose we
would get much sympathy from friends and family back in the UK.
The steep climb on the way back to the cars soon warmed us
up, and jackets and jumpers were removed again.
Jan and Tom have a relaxing chat to take their minds off the
last half mile back to the cars.
