8 May 2023 – Jalon to Lliber Hidden Valley


14 of us for today’s walk

Even the dry river was looking attractive with the oleander

Helen and Roger are walking again after another exotic holiday

Once more the temperatures were higher than normal

And once more I changed the walk to suit the heat

Quite a lot of this walk is shaded by trees

And there is not much ascent

We also had more water stops than usual

Despite all of this parts of the walk were quite hard going

Not least through the hidden valley section

By midday everyone was ready for our picnic lunch

We made the best of the little shade available

Fortunately the rest  of the walk was downhill

Not much shade available at the picnic site

Yet another group photo at this favourite site for photographs

Annie, Jan and Natalie had walked to Lliber for a drink in the square

They met us at the bridge

 And we all walked back to Jalon together

And had our after walk drink at  Riu Rau in Jalon

Another very enjoyable walk, despite the heat

Temperature – 18-25c

Time taken – 5 hours

Distance – 14 km

Total Ascent – 245 metres
