Walk Thursday 3 May 2012: Benagil
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:36 am
A gentle introductory walk for the May walking season.
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, pasing 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.
