The temperatures remain very high for
this time of year
The forecast for today was 30c at
midday
Rather than cancel
the walk we started half an hour earlier at 0830
Most of the group opted to wait for
cooler weather
However we did have 14 walking, including three new members
Elizabeth, Mike and Allan joined us
for the first time
I choose Jalon to Alcalali mirador
because I could adjust the walk if it was too hot
We took the most direct route, and had
frequent water stops
I was pleasantly surprised that it was much more comfortable than expected
This may have been because of the constant
chatter as everyone caught up on the summer news
The first walk is often like the first
day back at school after the summer break
And today was no exception
We were all still quite fresh when we
reached the Ermita for our banana break
Everyone avoided the picnic tables, which were out in the sun
But there was plenty of seating space
for everyone in the shade of the Ermita
No one seemed to be in a hurry to start the return journey
This part is more exposed, but not too
hot today
We arrived back in Jalon at 1100
I forget to put batteries in my satnav, so did not record the length of the walk
Bar Claudia was very packed inside and
out, so we went upstairs
A very enjoyable walk, despite the doom and gloom weather forecast
Temperature – 24 to 30c
Time Taken – 2.5 hours
Distance – 8 km
