Walk : Thursday 28 April, 2011 : Torre Vigia da Lapa
Walk : Thursday 28 April, 2011 : Torre Vigia da Lapa
A walk by the sea!
Meet at Presa de Moura, Sesmarias, for a 1000 start. Will take about 2 hours. Quite gentle, though a couple of scrambles!
Please wear stout trainers/walking boots. Bring some water.A pole is useful! No charge, of course.
Directions:
From Carvoeiro , going towards Lagoa , pass Intermarche on the left hand side. At the roundabout before Lagoa, turn left. ( As you approach this roundabout from CVO, the signs indicate left to Sesmarias : as you exit the roundabout, the appropriate road is signed Feraguedo, but that´s Portugal for you!).
At the next roundabout ( about 200 yards) bear right, signed Feraguedo.
At the watertower in Sesmarias, follow the road to the right through the village, about 3/4 mile. At a sharp(ish) right hand bend, turn left by a big sign of Presa de Moura. This is where the Island Cafe also is. Parking is either by the Island Cafe , or further along in the Presa de Moura development.
Sounds difficult, but isn´t. If you pass the Colina de Lapa development on the right hand side, you have gone too far : back track at next roundabout.
Coming from Ferragudo, Presa de Moura is on the right hand side...... just past Colina de Lapa on the left.
Any problems ( or bad weather) ring 282 380015.

What great pictures. They seem to really capture the spirit.
And some of those hats put last Friday's wedding guests to shame

Caroline, you may just need patience as the photos take a while to download, or your browser may be blocking them.
If its the latter, there should be a notification at the top of the page where you can click to "downlaod images".

Re: Walk : Thursday 28 April, 2011
Thanks e-richard and Geoff - I originally looked at the post at work and the photos were probably blocked. Fine (and visible) now at home
Re: Walk : Thursday 28 April, 2011
Glad that all´s well that ends well.
