WALK - MONDAY 4 JANUARY 2021 - LAGOA - CLOSED

Post by Linda and Russell »

Linda and Russell will be leading this walk and numbers are limited to maximum 10 walkers in 2 x groups of 5. The walk starts from Restaurant Barca Velha, opposite the Fatacil in Lagoa. It is 12kms, therefore 2 3/4 hours, although it is long there are not many hills, so it is a grade 3 due to the length. We head out of Lagoa along dirt tracks and out into the countryside. We pass deserted farm houses and eventually out into open countryside. We have to cross the N125 and go under the A22 but we also walk past lots of orange groves and enjoy views of the open countryside. We then walk along a long stretch of levada and head back to Lagoa. The usual rules apply: wear suitable footwear and clothing, bring a drink and respect social distancing. There is no charge and you walk at your own risk. The Restaurant is not open for the start of the walk but will be open for lunch. They do a set menu for around 10 euros.

Meeting time: 10:00am Directions: At Lagoa join the N125 and head East, at the roundabout( fish in a net) as you leave Lagoa take the right turn. The Restaurant Barca Velha is on the left in a row of shops and the Fatacil is on the right hand side. There are parking spaces nearby. Address: R. do Parque Empresarial do Algarve Loja 9, 8400-431 Lagoa. Our contact on the day is: 0044 796 0552618. Please indicate below if you are joining us for the walk and also if you wish to stay for lunch after.

We are now not travelling out on the 3rd Jan and we have no idea when!

Happy New Year to everyone.

We will certainly miss not being in Carvoeiro in January!

Hi Linda and Russell

Something has come up and we need to do something tomorrow which clashes with the Lagoa Walk. Sorry for pulling out at such short notice.

Take care,

Mike

Hi again Linda and Russell

We have made superhuman efforts to reorganize our timetable for tomorrow, and can confirm that we will be able to come on the walk after all.

Pumpkin is looking for a forever home.  She was very well behaved and got on well with all the group. She loved the walk as she is an energetic dog who needs more exercise.   If you are able to adopt her please contact the Canil at Portimao.
