22 March 2018 – Lleus to Pinos

Ten of us finally managed to do this walk

We have cancelled it three times this year due to bad weather
Despite a cold start we soon had ideal walking conditions
There was a lot of muttering about the cold as we left Lleus
But by the time we reached the top of the climb everyone was warmed up
The clear blue sky showed the scenery off to perfection
And the gorge was a sun trap for our banana stop
The rock formations really are very impressive
Though part of the track has become very overgrown since our last visit
We also followed a new track to reduce the amount of hill climb to Pinos
But we still had to climb the last section
Everyone was ready for lunch when we reached Pinos Ermita
The return to Lleus is mostly downhill
And views of Bernia are replaced by views of Calpe and Olta
 Alan lost his walking stick but found it on the way back
An excellent walk which everyone enjoyed
Perhaps all the more so for having had it cancelled three times
 

Walk Stats
Distance – 10km
Time Taken – 4.5 hours
Total Ascent – 375 metres
