We cancelled last week’s walk due to the weather
We had six days of grey skies and nonstop
rain
It was so bad schools were closed and
non urgent hospital appointments cancelled
Fortunately it started to clear on
Sunday
Despite a forecast of light rain we decided to walk today
But we did change the walk for fear of
high water levels
We had planned to do the bee hive walk
But that includes crossing a river
So instead we avoided rivers and kept
to good paths
We were rewarded with a cloudy but dry
start
Which soon cleared to blue skies and
mostly sunny
It was a real delight to be able to
walk with the group again
And the recent poor weather made us
appreciate it even more
As an added bonus Jan was able to walk
for the first time in eight weeks
She has had problems with her hips
which made it too painful to do much walking
Neither the doctor nor physio could
help much
But exercise and pain control has led
to gradual improvement
She did join us for after walk drinks
most weeks
But that is not the same as doing the
actual walk
Hopefully this will lead to a return
to normal walking
Lovely walk improved by a well deserved drink at No Nombre in Alcalali
Temperature – 10 to 15c
Time Taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9 km
