Walk (138) Monday 5 December 2016 :Casinhas (CLOSED)

[Geoff]

Walk is now closed

It is becoming something of a tradition to end our series of walks with this one : we unfortunately go back to the UK on thursday but will be back in January.

Track is fairly undulating, nothing (too!) steep, with minimal loose scree. The final descent is a bit steep. Lovely countryside, plenty of orange groves, nice views from the top.

It is ESSENTIAL that you indicate below if you can come as numbers will be limited to about 20. Thank you.

Degree of difficulty : 2 (Moderate) but 3 ( Energetic) for one hill climb of about 100m.

Duration about 2 hours 15 mins.

Meet at Cafe Casinhas .

Start : 1000

Directions:
From CVO, drive to Silves and go over bridge, turn right.
At the roundabout, follow the N124 in direction of Messines.
After about 400m, almost opposite the Galp petrol station on your left, turn right on to " Turismo Rural".
Follow this for about 2.5 kms, when you will see the Cafe Casinhas on your right......they don't open till 1100 but will be open when we get back and do a good Prato de Dia for about 8 € for those feeling peckish!

Walking boots/stout trainers recommended and walking poles.

Usual caveats - all walks are at your own risk, and we do not walk if it is pouring with rain...no charge, of course...I will endeavour to put any cancellation note on this site by 0900 on the day of the walk.

Any questions , please ask or ring 282 380015 preferably between 1800-1900 or 8am to 9am but not before 30 October.

Hi geoff , unfortunately peter wendy and john wont be staying for lunch

[Geoff]

Hi all
Just to say that forecast looks better for tomorrow, albeit chance of a shower to start with at 1000.....so bring some rain gear.....I haven't booked lunch as there's only 8 opting for it & we have never had a problem getting a table there before, so if anyone else wants to eat, it should be OK.
Fingers crossed.

[Remington]

Geoff, As we don't have rain gear we will have to bow out. Hope you manage to keep dry! Remington
