We cancelled last week’s walk due to a forecast of heavy rain
So we were all looking forward to today’s walk
The forecast was for rain at 1300
Sunny and clear sky as we left the rastro car park
If anything it was a little too warm
In fact we had to find shade for our water stops
This was our first summer walk
But due to the unusually low temperatures we started at 1000
If it gets much warmer we will start an hour earlier next week
Our usual summer walks are 0900 to 1200
Only ten of us for today’s walk
But we are walking Monday and Thursday this year
In previous years we only walked one day each week in June
At present there are enough to walk twice a week
But if numbers decline we may reduce to one a week
It was so warm that we decided to have our water stop at the Ermita
We can guarantee shade in the porch
As we arrived we noticed black clouds gathering
We increased our speed and got back just as the rain started
We went to bar Claudia where we had a good view of the short storm with heavy rain, thunder and lightning.
Temperature – 19-23c
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9 km
