5 January 2023 – Alcalali to Parcent

Thirteen of us for the first walk of 2023

The weather was sunny, but quite cold to start

It was lovely to meet up and walk again after a two week break for Christmas and New Year

It was particularly nice to see Ali and Farezh after their extended holiday

Walking in the sun soon warmed us up and layers were removed

The “pipeline path” looked very attractive in the sun

I was a little concerned about the rough track, but everyone managed ok

We are always open to any excuse to stop and take photographs

Including this attractive, but no longer used, “mini farm shop”

We had our “banana stop” just outside Parcent

Ali and Farezh supplemented our sweet distribution with tasty dates from their holiday

We set off again after a short break

But took another break to admire this friendly “wild boar”

By now it was quite warm and very pleasant walking through the valley

Our last distraction was these two cats enjoying the midday sun

It took us a little longer than expected to reach Alcalali

But no one was in any hurry to finish our enjoyable walk

Despite the “sting in the tail” climb into the village

Where we had a very pleasant drink in the square

And admired the preparations for “Three Kings”

Temperature – 15c

Time taken – 3.5 hours

Distance – 10km
