Walk Monday February 6, 2012 : Vale de Lapa
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 12:11 pm
A new walk!.....and a more gentle 2 hour walk after the exertions of Vale Fuzeiros.
Meet in the carpark of the Carvoeiro Tennis Club at 1000, map is at:

Basically, driving out of CVO and before you get to the petrol station, turn left up the zigzag hill and then right at the top at the T junction. Drive past L'Orange restaurant on your right and Monte Santo development on your left. At the roundabout, follow signs and go straight over. The club is about 200 yards on the right....the floodlight towers are visible from some distance!
Walk will be through some lightly wooded areas and some cliff tops, with lovely views. Stout trainers or boots and walking poles are recommended.
The walk is largely flat, but there is a valley to cross and a longish upward climb towards the end.
No charge, of course.
Any queries , ring on 282 380015 before 0930.
We will not be walking should the weather break and take a turn for the worse.
Hope to see friends old and new. It would be helpful to indicate if you are coming.
