17 on today’s walk
Should have been 18, but we had one “no show”
This included two friends of Alan, on holiday from the UK
It also included Claire and Tim on their first walk with this group
And Rochelle, who has walked with our Monday group previously
It was nice to welcome back Faezeh from an extended holiday
It was another hot day
But fortunately we did the road climb in the first hour
There was then a lot of shade along the “pipeline”
We also had lots of water stops to prevent over heating
We had to give way to a large group of cyclists
And most of them on electric bikes
Slightly deflates the macho image of Spanish cyclists
I was concerned that there might not be any shade at our picnic stop
But fortunately there was some light shade
Making it quite comfortable to have our break
We rested a little longer than usual to recover from the heat
The return to Alcalali is more exposed, and the temperatures were higher
There was not much shade in the square in Alcalali
So we had our after walk drink inside bar Porche
Temperature – 18-25c
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9 km
