20 of us for today’s walk
That included Jan on her first long walk since her accident in April 2022
It also included Annie who has not walked for about a year
We last did this walk in November 2019
This was partly due to covid and partly because Javea is a long drive
Consequently it was the first time that most of the group have done this walk
I think that they were impressed, particularly with our banana stop at the picnic site
They were also interested in the abandoned police post
I was impressed that everyone found the parking area at Javea port
And all of them arrived early
I was quite surprised how different the whole area looked
When we were last here there was no undergrowth
This was due to the extensive fire damage
However today it looks more like it used to before the fire
We were almost an hour late for our picnic lunch at the tower
This was partly because Jan had not done such a hard walk in a long time
Also because we had longer than usual stops to enjoy the scenery and the warm weather
But we made better time on the return journey
Walking downhill through the urbanisation also cut down the return journey
And we arrived at the car park just 20 minutes late
Our usual bar was closed, but we found a very suitable alternative
A little more expensive, but well worth it
Temperature – 7-17c
Time taken – 6.5 hours
Distance – 15 km
Total Ascent – 294 metres
