Superb walk today if you forget that 7 of the 20 got ‘wee’ bee stings! Lovely, friendly lunch at Casa da Vinha at 15 euros per head including a small contribution to the charity. Thanks, as ever for Rick for sourcing extra wine to satisfy everyone. Don has promised to post some pics. Suggest next si...

It would be good if we could all (those who are lunching) be at the start point on Monday, Casa da Vinha, by 9.45 as they are asking if we can submit our meal preferences before we set off. Only one liver & onions has been requested!
21 walking, 16 definitely for lunch & 3 maybe.

Walk seemed to be similar to a year ago with slight deviation at beginning and sticking to road at end without the deviation through the wood/levada. Started to rain near end but apart from that good weather. Six of us went to Snack Bar Manu ...

This is an old favourite and a very popular flat walk starting and returning to the nice wee town of Odiaxere. Degree of Difficulty (scale 1:5), is a 1; easy; there are bird watching opportunities at the river. It is about 2.25hrs. Last time we did it there were a few areas that had been cut off so ...

I plan to organise a very simple and flat walk in Odiaxere on Monday 9th, probably with lunch.

Will post details soon but expressions of interest would be welcome.

We then plan to be in Carvoeiro from the 3rd Jan, staying till the end of Jan. If anyone is comi...
