18 May 2023 – Olta


10 on today’s walk

This included Rory on his first walk with the group

The weather forecast was cloudy and 10% chance of rain

However it was much brighter and even sunny as we started

Last time we did this walk it took more than four hours

This was a recce to find somewhere suitable for a banana stop after about 1.5 hours

We found one with this beautiful view

But unfortunately nowhere to sit for our banana stop

So we had to eat standing up

I hope, and think, that the view made up for the lack of seating

It was still sunny and very pleasant as we started our return journey

There is no bar at the end of this walk

So we had agreed to have a snack at the Ermita picnic site

We arrived there about midday, two hours into our walk

However as we had our picnic we could see thick rain clouds approaching

We cut our picnic short and started the hour walk to the car park

It was very obvious that we were not going to get back before the rain

Soon after we left the Ermita 100% of the 10% chance of rain arrived

Some came prepared for the rain

The rest of us just got wet!

 

Temperature – 18-21c

Time taken – 3 hours

Distance – 9 km
