Walk : thursday 12 May 2011: Ilha do Rosario

[Geoff]

All invited!

Around the Ilha do Rosario , beautiful views of the river confluence of the Arade and the Odelouca. It should take about 2 hours & is easy(ish)......nearly all flat but there is a gentle hill to climb. Distance about 9km or 5 miles. It is similar to the "Sunflower Landscapes" walk or the Julie Stratham walk , but we will cut across the centre of the "island" to get magnificent views.

Directions: from CVO , cross the bridge into Silves & turn left on the R124towards Montchique/Portimao. After a little under 5 km you will see the Mira Rio cafe & restaurant on your left after a sharpish right hand bend. Parking is at the cafe , which is handy for a drink after!

Start at 1000.

Stout trainers/boots & a bottle of water suggested! Take your binoculars if you are a bird watcher. A walking pole is certainly useful.

No charge of course. Hope to meet both new and returning walkers!

Please indicate below if you can come.

Another good turnout with 13 walkers. Pleased to meet newcomers Bill & Jan and Arlene and Moira.....sorry I didn't pick up the note from Felicity in time : there is no need to ask to come, just come aloong!
It´s helpful though if people can give an indication of attendance, as then we can hang on a bit if they are late. Hope to meet you next week.
