New Recce Walk : Thursday 5 Dec 2013
New Recce Walk : Thursday 5 Dec 2013
Hi all
I think i have found a lovely new walk.....but after 4+ hours of treking, there's still too much tarmac & needs refining....but it's in a lovely part of the country, masses of orange groves and some superb scent today!
No guarantees on whether we will have success , but you should get 1.5 hours of lovely countryside walk followed by x hours of tarmac if we can't get a work-around!....will aim for about 2 to 2.5 hours, but it could be a bit longer!
Meet at Cafe Casinhas at 1000.
Directions:
From CV, drive to Silves and go over bridge, turn right.
At the roundabout, follow the N124 in direction of Messines.
After about 400m, almost opposite the Galp petrol station on your left, turn right on to " Turismo Rural".
Follow this for about 2.5 kms, when you will see the cafe Casinhas on your right......they don't open till 1100 but will be open when we get back and apparently do a good Prato de Dia.
Track is fairly undulating, nothing steep.....usual caveats apply.....hope to see some of you ( ideally with a GPS!)

What a beautiful day for the recce.....blue skies, not a sound apart from the odd bird, lovely sunshine....and some intrepid walkers, Paul & Maggie along with Terry & his GPS.....we now have the basis of a good new walk, though it still needs a bit of work on it to reduce the road walking....should be a great success in January!
