Once more the weather forecast caused
me to change the planned walk
We had hoped to have a special picnic
for our Christmas walk
We planned to do a figure of 8 from Lliber and picnic at the Jalon play area
However the weather forecast soon caused a change of plan
The forecast was pretty grim all week
I changed the walk to Jalon and meet
at the tourist information
We could then decide what to do
depending on the weather
As the week progressed the forecast
did not get any better
With two red warnings for Monday I
almost cancelled
But I was reluctant to do so for the
last walk of the year
In the worse case we could just go
straight to bar Claudia for a drink
It rained on Sunday, but was cloudy but dry Monday morning
I was impressed that 15 turned up at
the start
This included Patricia, a Spanish
friend of Yolanda
I wanted to avoid any cross country
walking because of the earlier rain
So we just set off in the direction of
Alcalali
I expected to have our picnic at the Ermita, where there is some shelter
But the weather was so good we went to the mirador instead
Jan had brought some mini stolen for
the picnic
Lorraine had also brought some cake
Jim once again provided superior
sweets
So we had quite a respectable picnic
Many had worn Christmas hats or
sweaters
So we looked the part as well
The weather remained dry as we made
our way back to Jalon
And a very enjoyable drink in bar Claudia
Temperature – 14c
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9km
