Hi Geoff
Hope you had a great Xmas and new year, I am afraid the 4 of us Steve and l, Jen and Mags will not be on the walk Tuesday, Hope you have someone on the reserve list.

One of our dog is at the vets for an op that morning, cannot drop him off before 0930, so too late to make the 1000 meet.

Also Jen has car trouble, it is in the garage on Tuesday for diagnostics

See you the following week
Thanks
Wendy

A lovely sunny morning, 19 walkers set off through a frosty valley, going quite fast to keep warm until we got to the sunshine, when Jim thought he'd display his manly torso and show how much he hadn't gained from eating his way around Aussie land on a cruise ship:

10 Rambos opted for the trig point scramble;

while the 9 wimps gossiped below...their blushes being spared as the file size of the photo, despite reducing it, is too large!

Back down the valley through crystal clear reflecting water...but again, alas, photo too big!

We passed ice on a couple of puddles, a first for the Algarve :

Before a short drive to the Mira Rio for a drink in the sun;

After a 10% tip ( the Mira Rio is still only 7.5€..lot cheaper than Willie's trip in Guia!) we had 30€ to add to the charity kitty, more than doubling it! Many thanks.

Walk was just over 2 hours.

PS....My thanks to Linda & Russell for booking us all in at the Mira Rio, for getting our lunch orders in advance and for phoning them in : it all went very well & saves me the hassle!
