Walk monday 25 November 2013 : Benagil

Post by Geoff »

PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE....NOT ENXERIM/WINDMILL AS POSTED YESTERDAY

This is a circular walk, along the beautiful coastline from Carvalho to Marinha beaches, combined with the countryside behind. About 2 to 2.5 hours. Some uphill gradients , but nothing terribly steep. There will be some loose shale on some of the cliff paths.

Wear walking boots or stout trainers, and bring some rainware, just in case. Walking poles are useful.

Shorts are not recommended , as some of the shrubs can be scratchy!

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 Benagil. If not, then drive up restaurant hill and carry straight on for a couple of miles, passing the Tivoli Almansur on your right. Just before Rocha Brava, turn left signposted Benagil & 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 of anything, please ring 282 380015 before 0915.

25 plus our first dog, Leo, made it for a lovely walk on another gorgeous day:

the beach cafe was closed in the morning, so we opted for the one at the top of the hill on the way back:

though we needn't have bothered, as the beach cafe had opened later in the morning!
