Walk : Thursday 7 November 2013 , Enxerim

[Geoff]

This is a relatively new walk.....and our first of the November walking season...hope to meet friends old and new.

It's about 2 hours 15 minutes , and has quite a long climb in the early stages,(about ten/fifteen minutes) up some scree, and is quite steep in places ; but after that the paths are good and there is a gentle descent, along with some lovely views.

We could always do the walk in reverse ( if we don't get lost) which will mean a much slower ascent.....will review on the day, see who comes and who has done it before!

Cafe does coffee and beer at 80cents!

Walking boots or stout trainers are recommended, along with walking poles.....and a hat and water.

If it's wet, we won't be going.....but bring some wet weather gear in any case!

Tel 282 380015 if you need more info, preferably between 0830/0930 and 1700/1900......before 0915 on the day!

As usual, all at your own risk, and no charge.

Start : 1000

Directions:
From CVO, go to Silves and cross the bridge.
Turn right on the N124 , and bear right over the next roundabout in the direction of Messines.
Go past the Galp petrol station , on the left , until, after about 1.5kms from the bridge, you turn left almost opposite the residential guest House Vila Sodre.

Almost immediately, turn right, and park after about 100m, just before the Cafe Cantinho do Enxerim.
IF you go over the bridge on the N124, you have gone too far!

Please indicate below if you can come.

PS....yes i know it's a thursday and it's the hunting season, but we would only have just come out that week ; next week, we revert to Monday walks!

You could have started with an easier one!
Straight into macho mode are we??

[Geoff]

Straight into macho mode are we??

Yup...or what counts as one...actually, i reckon if we did it in reverse, it's a bit of a doddle!...anyway, i need to get fit(ter) for a 3 day walk in mid Nov!!...we'll miss you ( & your GPS!)
