Walk : 13 October , 2010
Walk : 13 October , 2010
All invited!
Around the Ilha do Rosario , beautiful views of the river confluence of the Arade and the Odelouca. It should take about 2 hours & is easy(ish)......nearly all flat but there is a gentle hill to climb. Distance about 9km or 5 miles. It is similar to the "Sunflower Landscapes" walk or the Julie Stratham walk , but we will cut across the centre of the "island" to get magnificent views.
Directions: from CVO , cross the bridge into Silves & turn left on the R124towards Montchique/Portimao. After a little under 5 km you will see the Mira Rio cafe & restaurant on your left after a sharpish right hand bend. Parking is at the cafe , which is handy for a drink after!
Start at 1000.
Stout trainers/boots & a bottle of water suggested! Take your binoculars if you are a bird watcher. A walking pole is certainly useful.
No charge of course. Hope to meet both new and returning walkers!

10 of us had a great walk, lovely weather, beautiful views.
Lovely to see Caroline again, who came on our very first walk. Also, we welcomed newcomers Rob & Ness, whom we hope to see again.
Nice coffee at the Cafe Mia Rosa too! This is becoming a nice addition to the walks , and I will try and see that all future walks have this facility!
Welcoming feedback, the next walk is now on a thursday, which will hopefully prove a better day for some!
