Thirteen of us today, including two new faces
Should have been fourteen but we had one “no show”
Caroline walked with us last year, and is back for a flying visit
Suzanne also walked with us last year but first time this year
Last walk for Norman and Carole before they return to the UK
The high temperatures were forecast
So we came well prepared with plenty of water to drink
There is lots of shade on this walk
So the heat was not much of a problem
Caroline spotted frogs, which prompted an unexpected break
I was worried it might be too hot in the river for our snack break
But those who wanted could find shade
Most didn’t bother and didn’t seem to mind the sun
As always we stopped to admire our “1000 year old tree”
And found it had been decorated with small ornaments
I suspect it was done by local children, probably a local school group
The heat was more of a problem for the last hour
But getting closer to the bar proved a good incentive
It was really busy in bar Varetes
But we all managed to find seats
Temperature – 20-27c
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9 km
