There are 2 options for this , depending on support.

1. About 3 hours in the hills beyond Silves. It can be quite steep in places. Spectacular views. I will post directions if there is sufficient support for this.

2. Around the Ilha do Rosario , 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 in either case.
Stout trainers/boots & a bottle of water required! Take your binoculars if you are a bird watcher. A walking pole would be very helpful if we go for the first option.

No charge of course.

Pleaase advise preferences!

Our preference is for Option 2. Sorry we cannot join you on the April 22nd walk.

Option 2 it is then.....as long as we can get out there, we have already had one flight cancelled due to the Icelandic ash.

Just to confirm, we are out here ( first easyjet out of Bristol) and walk is on for tomorrow. Lovely weather

We will be there, looking forward to it.

Lovely walk , but only with The Snowbirds.
