The weather forecast I have is that it is drizzling near Messines at the moment (7.50am) but it is to clear from 10am.

LET'S DO IT!

LET'S DO IT!

That's the spirtit.....good luck, have a great walk and a better lunch...and don't forget your rain gear!

We did it!

Twelve of the nineteen booked in turned up at the meeting point which turned out to have a cafe selling superb coffee and cakes. It was raining but it was easing and by the times wagons rolled up to the start point it was a mere drizzle. This soon vanished and we even saw some blue sky. The walk was blessed with some glorious views of the barragem with some superb reflections on the water.

Hardy souls were Carol & Willie, Russell & Linda, Christine, Helen & Nigel, Mary & Paddy, Gill & Jim and Monica. The piccies will soon be posted once Nigel sends them on. The walk finished in glorious sunshine!

Seven of us then proceeded to Casa da Vinha which was very busy with both locals and ex pats of all varieties. A superb meal was had by all for ~10 euros per head.

Happy to learn how to post pictures

In a nutshell:
1. You need to have the pictures on a web hosting site....I load them into picassa and then upload them into goolge+, but there are many others.
2. You then right-click on the image and click " copy image location"
3. On the forum , you click onto "Img" and then paste ( control & V) in the space between the brackets "(Img)(Img)"

Simples!?
Good luck

PS I did use your Yahoo image location that you sent to Willie to start with, but it only gave about 1/10 of the image at enormous magnification...hence I downloaded it onto the PC and put it into Picassa.

If not clear, will speak next week.
