Well, hope someone's going to be coming with us!!

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.

Degree of difficulty ( scale 1to 5) :2, Moderate

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 0930, please note earlier start time.

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 0845 or 1700-1800 in the evening.

Any cancellation will be posted by 0830 in the morning.

Only 4 of us on a lovely walk that we hadn't done for some time, beautiful blue skies and gorgeous views. We welcomed newcomer Caroline, who adventurously climbed the Cavalho Watchtower:

We took rather longer than usual, mainly due to admiring the lovely views :

Remind you of anyone/anything?

A great end to the spring/summer walking season. hope to see you all in November.

I can echo Geoff's sentiments and would like to thank him for another year of fantastic walks.

This was a perfect end to the walking season with the obligatory cold beer to finish .. courtesy of Geoff.

Great pix by the way, who's the photographer? :wink:
