Walk Monday 5 November 2018 : Norinho/Enxerim. CLOSED
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2018 6:21 pm
Walk is now closed as there are enough people.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WALK LOCATION HAS BEEN CHANGED. Casinhas is still closed and Mira Rio is now closed on a Monday. Walk therefore changed to Norinho.
It's flat along the lavada to start, has 5 minutes of back road and then is all on country tracks, many of them uphill but with 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.
Duration : last time 2h 40m.....10.2km, 332m ascent, according to Colin, which sounds & felt about right.
The cafe has been tried and recommended : menu and size is limited but they do a good grilled meat or fish prata de dia. Optional lunch for 10€ for chicken/pork/Carapau but 11€ for Dorada......but please note new lunch price policy at viewtopic.php?f=39&t=27800
Degree of Difficulty ( scale 1:5 ) : the steep climb makes that part a grade 4 ( strenuous) but the rest is overall grade 2 or 2.5.
Start: 1000.....but please arrive by 0945 if you want a coffee!
Directions : drive from Carvoeiro to Silves, go over the bridge and turn right and follow the N124 for about 3.2 kms until you see Cafe Casa de Pasto a Norinho on your left : park in layby opposite.
