I always think of this as an easy walk
But it often turns out to be longer and harder than I remember it
It is the familiar “pipeline” walk to start
Then past our usual track to Jalon
The next section if particularly attractive
Gentle tracks to our scenic banana stop
Particularly so today in the bright sunshine
Then a winding downhill path on mostly good surface
We were joined today by Jacqueline and Keith on their first walk
They come from Cumbria, so this walk was no great challenge
We found this newly refurbished well
New information board in English for once
Then down through the woods to our picnic site
There has been a lot of work done on the play area
Including new table tops to replace the ones burnt by portable BBQ
By now it was getting pretty hot
And the return journey was along the very exposed valley
All were pleased to take a last water stop at the Ermita
Then a final push to Parcent
A short stop to feel our friendly black piggy
Ending with a well deserved drink at the Cooperativa
