WALK - MONDAY 3 JANUARY 2022 - ORANGE GROVES

Post by Linda and Russell »

Linda and Russell will be leading this walk. It is only 8kms but we hope to try and make it a bit longer on the day. The track is fairly undulating, nothing (too!) steep, with minimal loose scree. Lovely countryside, plenty of orange groves, nice views from the top. Just one short steep uphill to warm us up near the start.

Start Time: 10:00 am at Snack Bar Casinhas ( 37.194065 N, -8.402917 W)

Directions: From CVO, drive to Silves and go over bridge, turn right. At the roundabout, follow the N124 in direction of Messines. After about 400m, almost opposite the Galp petrol station on your left, turn right on to " Turismo Rural". Follow this for about 2.5 kms, when you will see the Cafe Casinhas on your right.

The cafe will not be open and we are not arranging a lunch after as most places will be closed due to the new restrictions.

Usual rules: all walks are at your own risk, bring a drink and wear suitable footwear.

As numbers are limited please add your name below if you would like to join us. The contact on the day is: 0044 7960552618

Hi Linda and Russell

Mieke and David will be there.

We will be flying back to Portugal on Friday afternoon, and so we will let you know if we do not make it due to last minute problems....

Hi Both,

I’ve got one of my sons out here at the moment and won’t be able to make the walk tomorrow, as we’re going out for an earlyish lunch. Hope to see you next week, if you’re organising another walk.

Happy New Year,

Mike

Another glorious day in the Orange groves.  Ten enthusiastic walkers turned out and we managed to fit an extra loop in which made the distance a very respectable 11kms. We all enjoyed a post walk drink at the cafe near the new Aldi in Silves.
