WALK - MONDAY 5 FEBRUARY 2024 - FIGUEIRA CORK FOREST - CLOSED

Post by Linda and Russell »

Linda and Russell will be leading this walk as Geoff is away. We head up through the pretty village of Figueira, through the Cork forest and out into the countryside via the orange groves. Then we loop back passing lots of grapevines, and ruined farmhouses. Some of the tracks are through wet grass and we pass some bee hives which were not a problem when we reccied the walk. We head back via a cafe in the village where we can stop for refreshments before heading back to the cars via the river bank. The walk is around 8 kms, 2 hours and not too difficult. Please wear suitable footwear, no charge but numbers limited to 20 walkers. We are not organising a lunch but the cafe Pescadora, also known as snack bar Manu does a typical set menu with pork or fish for anyone wishing to stay for lunch.

Meeting time 10.00 am. Meeting point: Sociedade de Figuerense, Figueira. Directions: Drive west along the N125, pass the Alvor turning and Penina Golf. About 2kms further along go under a footbridge and immediately turn right at the sign: "Polidisportivo". Park just after the social club entrance. There is no cafe at the start of the walk.

If you would like to join us please add your name below. The contact number on the day is: 0044 796 0552618.

Thank you so much!
Is there any possibility that we might catch a ride from someone as we don't yet have a car?
