WALK - MONDAY 23 OCTOBER 2023 - RIBBEIRO DAS CANAS

[Linda and Russell]

Linda and Russell will be leading this walk. It's around 10 kms on mostly good tracks, but it could be muddy due to recent rain, no tarmac, one gradual uphill, the rest mostly flat or downhill. It is in an area of remote countryside. There are 2 water-crossings which hopefully should be cross able with waterproof footwear and stepping stones. We should get nice views down into the valley as we wind our way around the the top of the hill. Usual rules: wear good footwear, bring a pole if you use one, bring a drink, walk at your own risk, no charge. There will be water for the dogs near the start and end of the walk. PLEASE WEAR WATERPROOF FOOTWEAR AND BRING A RAINCOAT.

MEET 10.00AM. Cafe Casa de Pasto Riba E Terinha ar Rasmalho. Directions: From the N125 at Portimao turn off and follow signs for Monchique. Go straight ahead at the roundabouts, go onto N266 direction Monchique, pass a petrol station on the left, after 1km you come into Rasmalho. The cafe is on the left. Park on the right as we will be driving a further 2kms to the start of the walk.

The cafe should be open for those wishing to arrive early for a coffee. We may go for lunch at cafe Ourique after the walk but will decide on the day.

Contact number on the day is: 0044 796 0552618

Only 4 walkers and 1 dog turned out. The sun came out, the sky turned blue, no river crossings. Just some large puddles. A very enjoyable walk followed by a lovely lunch at Ourique.
