Walk 10 February 2020 : Ourique. CLOSED
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:21 pm
walk is now closed.
This is Russell & Linda's walk that we did on 20 January , but hopefully I can remember it!
It is only 8kms, but took 2h 15m. There are lots of ups and downs but nothing on all fours and all on good tracks. We will be able to see the municipal tip in the distance but this can be a bonus as there are usually lots of birds so bring binoculars if you have them. Further along we pass by orange groves and enjoy some good views up to Alferce.
Degree of Difficulty : It is a grade 3.5 due to the number of ups and downs.
Meeting Time: Meeting Point: Restaurant Ourique. Start at 10.00. Hopefully, we can arrange for them to be open for coffee from 0945.
Directions: Drive to Lagoa and turn left on the N125. Drive to the the Portimao/Monchique exit and follow the N124 directions Monchique/Silves. At the roundabouts keep right and follow the signs for Silves. The restaurant is on the right side of the road on a sharp bend before Odelouca. Please park just before the restaurant.
Alternatively, drive to Silves, over the bridge , turn left and drive on N124 for 10km, when restaurant will be on your left.
Lunch . the restaurant does a set meal within our 10 euros budget, including tip etc. Hopefully, it will be sunny enough to eat outside....if not, there's a nice room with fire inside.
Numbers . Numbers are restricted to 20. Please note that David & George will not be able to offer an overflow walk today/this week.
Usual caveats - all walks are at your own risk, and we do not walk if it is pouring with rain.....I will endeavour to put any cancellation note on this site by 0830 on the day of the walk.
Any questions , please ask or ring 282 380015 preferably between 1800-1900 or before 0900.
