WALK - MONDAY 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 - FIGUEIRA CORK FOREST

[Linda and Russell]

Linda and Russell will be leading this walk. We head up through the pretty village of Figueira, through the Cork forest and out into the countryside via the orange groves. Then we loop back passing lots of grapevines, and ruined farmhouses. We pass some bee hives which shouldn’t be a problem. We head back via a cafe in the village where we can stop for refreshments before heading back to the cars via the river bank. The walk is around 8 kms, 2 hours and not too difficult. Please wear suitable footwear, bring a drink, no charge but numbers limited to 20 walkers. We are not organising a lunch but the cafe Pescadora, also known as snack bar Manu does a typical set menu with pork or fish for anyone wishing to stay for lunch. The other cafe does snacks.

Meeting time 10.00 am. Meeting point: Sociedade de Figuerense, Figueira. Directions: Drive west along the N125, pass the Alvor turning and Penina Golf. About 2kms further along go under a footbridge and immediately turn right at the sign: "Polidisportivo". Park just after the social club entrance. There is no cafe at the start of the walk.

If you would like to join us please add your name below. The contact number on the day is: 0044 796 0552618.
