15 May 2023 – Parcent to Benichembla


 Only 11 on today’s walk

Often happens at this time of year, due to visitors and holidays

Martin joined us after a break of some months due to illness

It was nice to have a smaller group for a change

We had ideal walking weather


Despite forecast of rain all week

We have had some heavy rain at night

So I was relieved to find that the river was dry

 In fact dryer than I have ever seen it

Delighted to find this painted butterfly

We last did this walk in October 2019

Since then cancelled many times due to heavy rain (or covid!)

We had our picnic in the play park

To get there we had to pass a new bar in the square

I’m sure the group would have preferred the bar

First time I have seen this font empty

We made really good time on this walk

And finished an hour earlier than last time

So we had more time in the cooperativa

Where we met up with Jan and Annie

Temperature – 18-25c

Time taken – 4 hours

Distance – 14 km

Total Ascent – 245 metres
