19 February 2018 – Alt de Ample


Seven of us for today’s walk
Another Jan joined us for her first walk with the group
This is the last Monday walk for David and Anita for a month or so, as they return to the UK and Sweden
Once more the forecast was overcast and light rain
But today it turned out sunny and blue skies
It is also quite a bit warmer, though still comfortable to walk
It was particularly pleasant when we had our picnic stop at our usual spot




And with a small group plenty of space to spread out
With the usual impressive views
We get all of the climbing out of the way before lunch
Though the descent can be just as difficult
This is one of those walks that you have to watch every step
But we made sure we had lots of photo and drink stops to admire the view

We often think of this walk as being one of the less spectacular
And we are then often surprised at what an enjoyable walk it actually is
Half of the group were doing it for the first time
And they were certainly impressed with the views


Walk Stats
Distance - 10.5 km
Time - 5 hours
Total Ascent - 415 metres
