31 March 2025 – Parcent to Alcalali

 

Lovely sunny morning at last

Still a little chilly when we met at Parcent

So quite a few jumpers on parade

But also a lot of shorts

The weather forecast was 12-18c during our walk

But it felt much warmer even as we started the walk

The pipeline section of the walk is always lovely

But particularly on a clear and sunny day

And the jumpers were all removed by the time we had our banana stop

 And most would have been happy to sit there much longer than the 15 minutes allowed

 Thanks to Tina for allowing me to use some of her photos

Particularly this one of the many colourful flowers on display

 

Photographs from other members of the group are always welcome to add a different perspective

I think this is the first time this year that we looked for shade for our water stops

There were 20 of us on today’s walk

Including a few we have not seen for a while

It is about a month since we saw Maureen

She has been converting a vehicle for her Santiago de Compostela walk in April

It was also nice to see Deb and Phil who we last walked with us in December

And Rob and Mandy who last walked in June

Also nice to welcome John, who has just retired to join Paula in Benichembla

It was very hot for the last section of the walk from the Ermita to Parcent

So the long awaited cold drink was particularly welcome

Temperature – 14 to 20c

Time Taken – 3 hours

Distance – 10 km
