Linda & Russell will be leading this walk. We head off into the quiet, remonte hills and around a few small baragems. Mostly good tracks but a small section is a bit over grown. It is a hard walk as we have a couple of hills at the beginning and end so about a grade 4.

Meeting Point: Restaurant Ourique. The cafe is closed at the start but please arrive ready to start the walk at 10.00am.

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.

The restaurant will be open for lunch for those who wish to join us for lunch. The set menu does not include drinks so the bill is usually a little more about 18 euros.

Usual rules: walk at your own risk, bring a pole if you use one and bring a drink.

Please add your name below if you wish to join the walk and if you would like to stay for lunch. Numbers are limited to 20 walkers for safety reasons so please let us know if you need to cancel.

Contact on the day is: 0044 796 0552618.

New walker Alan Sausse joining the walk.

Only 3 walkers and one dog but we had a nice walk and lunch. The path was very overgrown and still lots of water around so we did a 2 hour linear walk. Nice lunch at cafe perinha after.

Alan here (from Monday’s walk). My forum membership has finally been approved!

Will try to come along next week as well. A lot going on, but as things stand I should be free next Monday.
