10 November 2025 – Jalon to Alcalali

 



 Another sunny day

Appreciated all the more because of two recent unusually grey and overcast Monday's

26 on today’s walk

Jan blew her whistle to draw attention to this novel tree support

It was lovely walking through the trees, with the sun shining through the branches

 

Jan took this artistic photograph

We had an early water stop to ensure we could do so in the sun

Explaining the option for climbing Col de Rates from Jalon

I had been asked which is the best route

I made the mistake of asking Jenny if she would do it again

Her reply may well have put off anyone considering doing it themselves

Claire is taking a photo of a couple of butterfly’s

I was too late to get a close up, and everyone else had taken a short video

These two came expecting food and were not very happy to have to make do with a photo

Distant view of Parcent, showing the valley at its best

As always we had our banana break at the hermitage of Sant Joan de Mosquera

Thanks to David for these portraits

He has a real gift for catching people at their most natural

Something I never seem able to do

After a 15 minute break we set off back to Jalon

Before we started we warned bar Claudia that we would have a large group

And they agreed we could use their balcony upstairs

We can spread out and do not interfere with their other customers.

Temperature – 15-22c

Time Taken – 3 hours

Distance – 9 km
