Extra walk : Thursday Feb 9 Feb 2012, Benagil

Post by Geoff »

By special request, a last walk before our return to the cold of the UK!

This is a circular walk, along the beatiful coastline from Benagil to Carvalho and thence to Marinha beaches, combined with the countrside behind. About 2 to 2.5 hours. Some uphill gradients , but nothing terribly steep.
Wear walking boots or stout trainers, and bring some rainwear, just in case. Walking poles are useful.
No charge, of course.

Directions : meet by beach bar at Benagil at 1000.
Parking should be OK, that time of year, on the steep down road. Alternatively, parking is available at the top.

I expect you all know how to get to Banagil. If not, then drive up restaurant hill and carry straight on for a couple of miles, pasing the Tivoli Almansur on your right. Just before Rocha Brava, turn left signposted Banagil & follow signs for another 2 or 3 miles.

Please indicate below if you expect to be able to come.

If weather is bad or you are unsure ofanything, please ring 282 380015 before 0915.

A belated report of another lovely walk, despite some of the uphill gradients being a little taxing for some !
