Walk Monday 6 February 2017 : Aguas Bellas
Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2016 4:18 pm
A walk last done almost exactly one year ago.....and I got a bit lost at the top...so hopefully no such problems this time!
This is the clockwise route , which means going up a long uphill slope!
Overall difficulty ( scale 1 to 5 ) :borderline 4 (strenuous ) due to the long slope
Please also note the walk is quite long at about 2 hours 50 mins.
A circular walk ,north of Silves around Aguas Bellas through interesting countryside, with some small streams, that are usually easily fordable. Please note there is a LONG uphill slope, not particularly steep, but quite long!
10.00am start.
Directions: Drive over bridge at Silves & turn right at traffic lights. At next roundabout take the 2nd exit towards the castle. Passing the cemetery walls on your right take next turn right. Follow this road until you reach the Cafe Terinho on the left hand side, about 4 kms from the roundabout in Silves.
Please do not park in front of the cafe : there is plenty of space alongside the road after it......or in a carpark, 150m on the right after the cafe.
Please wear stout trainers or, preferably, walking boots. Walking poles, sun cream, hats and water also recommended.
If the weather is bad, we won't walk : but if showery, please bring something waterproof.
If the weather turns for the worse, any cancellation notice will be posted here by 0830 on the day ; please check if in doubt...or ring me.
All walks are at your own risk.
No charge, of course.
Please indicate below if you are able to come, as we had to limit numbers to 20 last year.
Any questions please telephone 282 380015, preferably between 5pm and 6pm, but not before 9 January.
For those that want lunch after, I suggest a drink at the cafe and then we go to Mia Ria, about 10/15 minutes drive away, for their 8€ Prato de Dia. Please state if you want lunch so that the restaurant can be forwarned.
