16 March 2023 – Jalon to Alcalali Mirador


 17 of us on today’s walk

The weather was much cooler than on Monday

So the walk was much more pleasant

We have now done the full 15 walks in our current programme

So this was the first walk again, which we last did in October last year

I therefore have no excuse that this was a recce walk

And Barry was quick to point out that we finished 15 minutes early

I countered that was when we returned to the car park – not the bar

It was a little quicker than last time, perhaps everyone is fitter now?

It was pleasant to be walking without jackets

Let’s hope that Spring has arrived a little early this year

Certainly an improvement on March last year, when it seemed to rain every day

We had 13 on that first Thursday walk

8 of them walking again today

That is pretty good retention

And it is good to see the group now well established

Though quite a high proportion are non resident

So numbers may well vary from week to week

We had our after walk drinks at Riu Rau again

this bar is fast becoming our favourite for walks starting in Jalon

Temperature – 14-21c

Time taken – 3 hours

Distance – 9 km
