The other walk proposed will be in and around Carvoeiro, about 1.5 to 2hrs and ending up at one of the local restaurants - this may well be one of the first walks done by Carvoei...

IT APPEARS WE CAN WALK AGAIN!

In the Portugal News it would appear that Julie Statham is starting her walks again, from Tues 12th May, limited numbers and away from any people (portugalwalks.com).

If this is the case who is around next week and we will sort a walk out.
