Hi all - Paul here!

Janette is quite poorly this weekend so unfortunately we won't be on the walk tomorrow.

We will however see you a week tomorrow assuming she recovers well.

Have a good one and happy new year to all.

Cheers

Paul

Hi All,

Thank you Geoff and Sue for organising a great walk last Monday - nice to see you and lots of familiar faces, to meet some new people and try out a new (for us) restaurant as well. We're now back in cold and drizzly England with snow forecast so have only got the photos to remind us of the wonderful weather back in Portugal: Look forward to meeting up again later this year hopefully.

Hope so Alison, glad you all enjoyed it.

We ended up with just 17 walkers on a delightfully sunny day without a cloud in the sky:

The infamous hill didn't actually seem that bad:

Total time just over 2h 35mins, a bit slow for c8.6kms, but a very pleasant walk.

14 retired to Casinhas, as Alison shows above, where we had an excellent 8€ prata de dia.
