Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:55 am
Something a bit more taxing!
A circular walk of 2.5 hours or so ,north of Silves around Aguas Bellas through interesting countryside, with some small streams.
The walk is fairly undulating with one long haul up a hillside - once up , then the rest is fairly straightforward. We will have plenty of stops to recover our breath, etc.
This picture shows the long uphill gradient , probably about half a kilometer long:
10.00am start.
Directions: Drive over bridge at Silves & turn right at traffic lights. At next roundabout take the 2nd exit towards the castle. Passing the cemetery walls on your right take next turn right. Follow this road until you reach the Cafe Terinho on the left hand side, about 4 kms from the roundabout in Silves.
Please wear stout trainers or, preferably, walking boots. Walking poles, sun cream, hats and water also recommended.
If the weather is bad, we won't walk : but if showery, please bring something waterproof.
All walks are at your own risk.
No charge, of course.
Please indicate below if you are able to come.
Any questions please telephone 282 380015 before 0900.
