Walk : tuesday 14 May 2013, Benagil

Post by Geoff »

This is a circular walk, along the beatiful coastline from Carvalho to Marinha beaches, combined with the countryside behind. About 2 to 2.5 hours. Some uphill gradients , but nothing terribly steep. There will be some loose shale on some of the cliff paths.

Wear walking boots or stout trainers, and bring some rainwear, just in case. Walking poles are useful.

Shorts are not recommended , as some of the shrubs can be scratchy!

No charge, of course.

Directions : meet by beach bar at Benagil at 1000.

Parking should be OK, that time of year, on the steep down road. Alternatively, parking is available at the top.

I expect you all know how to get to Banagil. If not, then drive up restaurant hill and carry straight on for a couple of miles, passing the Tivoli Almansur on your right. Just before Rocha Brava, turn left signposted Banagil & follow signs for another 2 or 3 miles.

Please indicate below if you expect to be able to come.

If weather is bad or you are unsure of anything, please ring 282 380015 before 0915.

Hi all.....I was a bit worried that we had put Hazel off, after the last walk we did, so very glad she has recommended these walks : looking forward to meeting you, Roy and Jane....and welcoming back Lawrie & Ann-Marie, and Mike & Su.....shouldn't be too hot along the coast!

Hi Dave....we met with Roy & Jane, but unfortunately Jane couldn't walk due to her hip....we had 19 though for a gorgeous walk, including the return of some old friends..bit slow at 2.5 hours, but the views were magnificent and well worth studying!.....will try & post photos once back in the cold UK, unfortunately tomorrow!
