Linda and Russell will be leading this walk. It's around 9kms on mostly good tracks, no tarmac, one gradual long uphill, the rest mostly flat or downhill. It is in an area of remote countryside. We should get nice views down into the valley as we wind our way around the top of the hill. Usual rules: wear good footwear, bring a pole if you use one, bring a drink, walk at your own risk, no charge.

MEET 8.30am at Cafe Casa de Pasto Riba E Terinha ar Rasmalho. Directions: From the N125 at Portimao turn off and follow signs for Monchique. Go straight ahead at the roundabouts, go onto N266 direction Monchique, pass a petrol station on the left, after 1km you come into Rasmalho. The cafe is on the left. Park on the right as we will be driving a further 2kms to the start of the walk.

The cafe should be open for those wishing to arrive early for a coffee. We will stop at the cafe for drinks after the walk.

Only 4 walkers and 2 dogs for the first walk of the Autumn season but we had a very enjoyable walk with some cloudy skies and a nice breeze and even water for the dogs to cool off.

Well done for starting the new season , expect numbers will pick up soon. Bw , geoff
