Walk : Thursday 28 April, 2011 : Torre Vigia da Lapa

Post by Geoff »

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 :D

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".

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
