WALK - MONDAY 12 OCTOBER - ODELOUCA CLOSED
Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2020 9:20 am
The walk will start from Restaurant Ourique, near the village of Odelouca. There is a very steep uphill stretch up to the ridge where we can enjoy nice views of the hills and river and a few ups and downs on uneven ground. WE WALK CLOSE TO SOME ACTIVE BEE HIVES, WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED. The rest of the walk is fairly flat and we can enjoy the wildlife on the Odelouca river. The walk is only 8kms but is a grade 4 (energetic) due to the steep hill. The usual rules apply, wear suitable clothing and footwear, bring a drink, walking poles if you have them, no charge, walk at your own risk.
Meeting Time: 10:00am. Meeting Point: Restaurant Ourique. Directions: Leave the N125 at 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. The restaurant doesnt open for coffee until 10am but we can start the walk at 10.15am if walkers need a coffee rush. They also do a set meal within our 10 euros budget, including tip etc.
Numbers have to be limited to 10 both for the walk and lunch (due to CV19 restrictions). Therefore only 8 more places available, it is first come first served.
Linda and Russell will be guiding this walk and the contact number on the day is: 0044 796 0552618. Please indicate below if you would like to join the walk and also if you would like to stay for lunch. Thank you.
