Pat
and Peter organised this evening walk and picnic as part of the Costa Blanca
Mountain Walkers summer programme.
Dave
and Sue gave us, plus Jackie and Mike, a lift to Javea. With so many familiar faces it felt more
like a Monday Group.
The
walk started at 5.30pm, and at this time of year we expected it to be very
hot. So we were pleasantly surprised
that the cool sea breeze made it quite pleasant
It
was the same walk to Portitxol, which we did as our last Monday Group walk
before the summer break.
We
left our picnic boxes and chairs in the car, so were walking quite light . I carried our small haversack, but others
had their towels and swimming kit taken to the beach by one of the group who
was not taking part in the walk.
After
such a long break it was lovely to be walking again, and able to enjoy the
wonderful views which makes this one of our favourite short walks
Jan
and Sue seem to be enjoying the walk also.
One
of the many mirador (or view point) on this part of the walk
It
was also a good opportunity to try out my new camera, and to see how well the
wide angle works.
We
broke into two groups at this point.
Some of the keener swimmers wanted to head for the beach, the rest of us
preferred to enjoy a short extension of the walk.
I
never get tired of this view of Javea, and Montgo behind. This was another test shot, into the sun
this time.
A
nice group shot of Jan, Pat, Jackie and Sue
The
bay was very busy, with lots of small boats and plenty of activity to enjoy
Another
wide angle shot, this time of Portitxol beach, where we rejoined the swimming
party.
We
know the beach quite well, but had never seen it as busy as it was
tonight. We usually have our picnic
lunch here when we do this walk with the Monday Group.
But
tonight our picnic was at the car park.
Everyone had brought food and drink and we joined the many Spanish
groups who were doing the same.
Many
thanks to Pat and Peter for organising such an enjoyable evening.
