Everyone arrived in good time, and 16 ramblers set off just before 10am. The weather was warm but not too hot thanks to the sea breeze. We walked along the coastal path enjoying sea views
...passing a few sink holes on the way
...whilst helping each other up and down the rocky terrain
...passing Praia da Marinha
...then stopping for a group photo with the Atlantic Ocean in the background
...before arriving at Benagil for half time
Then marching back along the limestone paths
...the group paused,..... while Jon practiced his robotic dancing and the leader checked his bearings
...we passed the occasional disused habitat
arriving back at Albandeira for 12:00, 11 stayed for pizza & refreshments at the beach shack
some shared one between two & some had a whole one all to their self
But I think everyone must have enjoyed it, because I wasn't offered any left overs
Then we all decided to go for a swim
...but thought we'd give it a miss as we hadn't brought any towels, maybe next time.
Thanks to all for taking part, and hope to see you all again, soon, Colin.
