We planned to walk Parcent to Benichembla today, but cancelled because of recent rain fall
16 of the original 21 joined us for this alternative walk
Yesterday we had very cold and very wet weather all day
Today it was a clear blue sky and 2-11c temperatures
There was also a considerable amount of snow on Carrascal
We were all delighted to get out after a whole day stuck indoors!
We started off well wrapped against the cold
But when we had our banana break most had removed their outer layer
I was not sure what to expect after considerable rain recently
I was pleasantly surprised to find the rivers were not too high
However I would not like to risk crossing it four times on the way to Benichembla
I had kept an open mind where and how far to walk today
But I soon decided to do our standard Jalon to Parcent via the pipelines
But to do it in reverse, which is a completely different walk
Our picnic area was a sun trap and very pleasant
We finished our picnic just as another group arrived – which was our old Monday Group
They had done this walk in the opposite direction, and warned us that the pipeline track was very muddy
However it did not prove any problem, nor stop the constant chatter
We made good progress and completed the walk with time to spare
So we spent almost an hour at Riu Rau for our after walk drink
Temperature – 11c
Time taken – 5 hours
Distance – 14km
