Walk: wednesday 6 January, 2010

Post by Geoff »

The next walk will be around the Ilha do Rosario , it should take about 2 hours & is easy(ish)......nearly all flat but there is a gentle hill to climb. Distance about 9km or 5 miles. It is similar to the "Sunflower Landscapes" walk or the Julie Stratham walk , but we will cut across the centre of the "island" to get magnificent views.

Start at 1000.

Trainers/boots & a bottle of water required! Take your binoculars if you are a bird watcher. A raincoat would also be prudent!!

Directions: from CVO , cross the bridge into Silves & turn left on the R124towards Montchique/Portimao. After a little under 5 km you will see the Mira Rio cafe & restaurant on your left after a sharpish right hand bend. Parking is at the cafe , which is handy for a drink after!

No charge of course.

We had a lovely walk on 31 December, so hope to meet some more of you here!

We had an enjoyable walk, being joined by Simon and Nick. Only problem was the rain which started about half way & got worse. At least it was warm rain though!
