9 January 2023 – Benimeli Aerials

 

Seventeen of us for the first walk of 2023

This is always an impressive walk, but particularly today

The forecast was for overcast but dry

In fact it turned out to be sunny but windy

It is a very steep climb from the village to our banana stop

And we were all very pleased to have an opportunity to sit down and enjoy the view

Refreshed by our 15 minute break we continued the climb to the aerials

We had another break at the picnic site

And then the final climb to the aerials

Where we had the traditional group photo

The a gentle walk to our picnic site

Not only did the sun shine, but the wind stopped as well

This must be one of the best sites for a picnic

And also for a dramatic photo

We spend half an hour here

Another group photo

 Then back along the ridge

With its extensive views

And down to Benimeli

Bar Citrus in Orba was the nearest one open

Temperature – 19c

Time taken – 4.5 hours

Distance – 7km

Total Ascent - 410
