11 of us for today’s walk
Quite a few less than our normal turnout
It would have been even lower if Clair and Tim were not here on holiday
I think it is mostly because we are in the holiday season
But also partly because most of the group did Baranco Inferno last Friday
This is a spectacular but very challenging walk
And it may be some are still suffering the after effects
The temperatures have risen sharply this week
But it felt even warmer than the forecast
This was particularly so on the long exposed section
It was too hot to take our picnic at the usual place
So we had to push on until we could find some shade
Some of the group found the going hard, and we had to slow the pace
We finally found a shaded spot about half an hour later than planned
And everyone felt much better after half an hour break
We planned to walk back along the side of the Caballo Verde
However half of the group opted for the easier walk along the road back to Benimaurell
We all met up at the bar in the village for a well deserved cold drink
Enjoyed the walk as always, but it was hard going on such a hot day
If these temperatures continue I will have to find some less challenging walks with more shade
Temperature – 19-24c
Time taken – 5.5 hours
Distance – 13 km
Total Ascent – 542 metres
