Walk Thursday 22 Feb 2018 : Cafe Torinho

Post by Geoff »

This will be our first of 2018, so squeezing it in on a thursday....seems we haven't done it for 2 years, so hope i remember it OK!

It covers part of the valley from the Agua Bellas walk, but includes some steep ascents, and thus some lovely views.

We won't have time to check the water levels in the streams, but they are usually fordable.....

Overall difficulty ( scale 1 to 5 ) : 3, Energetic.

Start:10.00am

Directions: Drive over bridge at Silves & turn right at traffic lights. At next roundabout take the 2nd exit towards the castle. Passing the cemetery walls on your right take next turn right. Follow this road until you reach the Cafe Terinho on the left hand side, about 4 kms from the roundabout in Silves.

Please do not park in front of the cafe : there is plenty of space alongside the road after it......or in a carpark, 150m on the right after the cafe.

Please wear stout trainers or, preferably, walking boots. Walking poles, sun cream, hats and water also recommended.
If the weather is bad, we won't walk : but if showery, please bring something waterproof.

If the weather turns for the worse, any cancellation notice will be posted here by 0900 on the day ; please check if in doubt...or ring me.

All walks are at your own risk.


No charge, of course.

Due to increased numbers on walks, we are limiting numbers to 20 so it is ESSENTIAL that you indicate below if you want to come...and if you want lunch.

Any questions please telephone 282 380015 before 0900 or after 6.00pm, but after 20 Feb.

Lunch, optional, probably a short drive away at Mio Rosa....10€.....but please note new lunch price policy at viewtopic.php?f=39&t=27800

Lovely walk, 2 h 10 mins, though Terry & Barb somehow couldn't find it.....not a drop of water in the streams : beautiful wall-to-wall blue skies. The cafe prices had gone up, so beer and lunch was enjoyed by 10 of us at the Mio Rio with 15€ for the charity box.

My camera battery had died, so hopefully our new Swedish friends can post the photos....and 9 of us Rambos climbed up to the trig point, leaving 4 anonymous Wimps to circum-navigate it!

I think Lina must have been our third youngest walker!
