Only
seven of us for today’s walk
It
was always going to be a small group, for a variety of other commitments
However
it got even smaller when two cancelled on the morning of the walk
Despite
the forecast of rain we arranged to go to the start and decide then whether to
cancel or not
It
was overcast but dry, so we agreed to start the walk
Before
we reached the banana stop it started to drizzle, enough to put on our
waterproofs
By
now we had done all of the climbing and the rain had stopped, so we all agreed
to carry on towards the castle
This
was a good decision because the sky cleared and the rain disappeared
We had another decision at the base of the hill, whether to climb to the
top or not
Once
more everyone agreed to carry on
And
we were rewarded with the views for which this walk is well known
Anneke
and Toon return to Amsterdam until November and will be much missed
It
was not as dismal having our lunch as the photo suggests, in fact it was quite
pleasant once we got out of the wind
However
we did have to wrap up to keep warm
We
had a longer than usual lunch break, and it was 2pm before we started the
return journey
By
the time we reached Pedreguer it was a warm, sunny afternoon
This
is a longer than usual walk, but everyone enjoyed it – despite, or perhaps because of, the less than
perfect weather
