Only ten of us walking from Jalon to Parcent today
It should have been twenty on the Pinos Fossil walk
But a weather forecast of -2c and a snow warning prompted me to cancel
As often happens, quite a few did not want to do the alternative walk
The actual weather was much better than forecast with 2c and sunny skies
It was still very cold, as you can see from this photo of the banana break
Everyone came well prepared so the cold did not bother us much
And it was quite pleasant when the wind dropped and the sun shone
We also made good time because we walked quicker than normal
Just one of the many dogs who “barked us on our way”
We were lucky to have a sunny period for our picnic lunch
No one was in any hurry to resume walking
Richard spotted this snake that had caught a gecko
When we gathered around the snake panicked and let go of the gecko
Despite the sun and the pace not many layers of clothing were removed
Jan did remove her coat when we had a final water stop at Alcalali Ermita
However everyone remained well wrapped up
There was some discussion about where to have our after walk drink
And whether it should be indoors or outside
We settled for outdoors at Riu Rau
Jan settled for a large glass of red wine
Temperature – 2-6c
Time taken – 5 hours
Distance – 14 km
