Re: Walk Monday 19 February 2024 : Montes de Cima/O Tasco. CLOSED

We ended up with 23 walkers to get 16 lunchers. Amanda attracted the first bee sting of the year, but frtunately Sue had tweezers & Alan some balm.

Salgados Walkway

Bridge is complete....though approach from Amacao de Pera hasn't....people are clambering around that end : there is a barrier the Salgados end, easily climbed through. Will be good once finished, though walk along beech is more interesting than walkway methinks.
