Posted: Thu Aug 24, 2017 10:41 am
WALK IS NOW CLOSED
This is an extrememly old favourite , but we have recently been advised of a variant or two , that makes it a bit more challenging and interesting.
It is a walk by the confluence of the Arade and the Odelouca. Around the Ilha do Rosario with beautiful views .It should take just over 2 hours & is easy(ish).
Distance about 9km or 5 miles. It is similar to the "Sunflower Landscapes" walk or the Julie Stratham walk .
The Mira Rio Cafe/Restaurant does a good €8 Prato de Dia for those who want lunch after!
Start : 10.00
Degree of difficulty: we will be going over the top, and the new route is probably a grade 2.5 : nothing too onerous, but uphill in a few places.
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!
Stout trainers/boots & a bottle of water suggested! Take your binoculars if you are a bird watcher. A walking pole is certainly useful......if the weather changes, bring some wet weather gear but I expect they won't be walking if it's really wet!
Any cancellation notice will be posted by 0830/0900 on the day.
No charge of course.
All walks are at your own risk.
Please indicate below if you can come, as numbers will be limited to about 20.
