Walk 26 March 2018 : Norinho/Enxerim :CLOSED
Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2018 2:13 pm
Walk is now closed as we have enough people.
This is a newish approach to an old walk...it's flat along the lavada, has 5 minutes of back road and then is all on country tracks, many of them uphill but with quite a long climb in the early stages,(about ten/fifteen minutes) up some scree, and is quite steep in places.......but we MAY be taking an easier route up for a change ; but after that the paths are good and there is a gentle descent, along with some lovely views.
Duration : last time 2h 40m.....10.2km, 332m ascent, according to Colin, which sounds & felt about right.
The cafe has been tried and recommended : menu and size is limited but they do a good grilled meat or fish prata de dia.
Degree of Difficulty ( scale 1:5 ) : the steep climb makes that part a grade 4 ( strenuous) but the rest is overall grade 2 or 2.5.
Start:10.00 am
Directions : drive from Carvoeiro to Silves, go over the bridge and turn right and follow the N124 for about 3.2 kms until you see Cafe Casa de Pasto a Norinho on your left : park in layby opposite.
GPS : 37°12'20.6"N, 8°24'38.0"W
37.2057131N 8.4116553,312W
Usual caveats: all walks are at your own risk, and we do not walk if it is pouring with rain.....I will endeavour to put any cancellation note on this site by 0830 on the day of the walk.
Walking boots/stout trainers , walking pole(s), hats and water recommended. No charge, of course.
Please indicate below if you can come as numbers are limited.......the cafe is not very large either, so please state if you would want lunch.
Lunch: this is optional, but will 10€......but please note new lunch price policy at viewtopic.php?f=39&t=27800
Walking boots/stout trainers recommended and walking poles.
Any questions , please ask or ring 282 380015 preferably between 1800-1900 or 8am to 9am but not before 20 February.
