Despite a weather forecast of rain all day there were ten
of us walking today
It was dry, but overcast , as we left Benimeli
The steep climb out of the village soon warmed everyone
up
My main concern was to get to our picnic site before the
rain arrived
So we set a good pace, but had sufficient stops to recover
The path is a little eroded in parts, and David was
always available to lend a hand
It was too cold to stop for long at our banana break
But we did have a couple of short breaks during the climb
The approaching rain clouds kept us moving
And everyone reached the top without any problem
It was dry when we reached our lunch location, though
cold enough for jackets
We could see the weather closing in, so we had a short
lunch break
We could see rain clouds all around, but it remained dry
for most of the return journey
We were about 15 minutes from the village when the rain
started
It was light rain, but we put on our waterproofs just in
case
We reached the village before we got too wet, but found
both bars closed
Fortunately Bar Tormos was open, and we got there just as
the rain increased in volume
There are more photographs of the walk in the video slideshow.
