2 October 2023 – Parcent to Alcalali

 

  

 20 on today’s walk

Fortunately 7 more were unable to walk today, mostly due to visitors

It was good to welcome Barry and Linda back

Plus Robin and Sandra

Barry was on good form and gave me a hard time

I think he has been preparing himself during his time in the UK

But he did distribute expensive British sweets during the picnic break

He was very disappointed that we arrived at the bar 3 minutes early

At present there are 20 resident members

Plus another 18 non resident members (“the swallows”)

At this time of year “the swallows” start to return for the winter sun

Today there were 6 “swallows”

With four more due during October

It is good that the membership has grown so well

And we would consider them all friends and not want to deny them a walk

But we will have to stop new members until things quieten down a little

I have accepted that there will have to be an easing of the 12-16 limit on each walk 

And the banter on today’s walk was excellent despite the larger than normal numbers

It is very rewarding to see how easily “the swallows” mix with the resident members

And how the regular walkers are so pleased to see them again

Parcent cooperativa was closed again

But Siremar was a very acceptable alternative

Temperature – 17 to 29c

Time taken – 3 hours

Distance – 9 km
