Ten of us for today’s alternative walk
We
had planned Pinos Fossil Walk today
But
forecast of rain all day caused us to change to a Jalon Valley walk
But
by the time we reached Alcalali the sky was blue
There
was heavy rain Sunday night, but it cleared as we prepared for the walk
In
fact we had no rain at all during the walk
As
we approached Parcent there was a lot of talk about a coffee in the co
operativa
This
was suggested by Diny and supported by Anita, the Dutch are more civilised than
us Brits
However
the rest of us were happy to accept their suggestion
After
a pleasant half hour in the bar we started the walk back to Jalon
We
took the pipeline route and had lunch at John’s suggested picnic site
By
now it was sunny and warm and an ideal place for our lunch
The
rest of the walk is on good tracks
It
was nice not to have to watch our feet for a change
And
plenty of space to spread out
So
we arrived back in Jalon tired but pleased with our day’s walk
We
are very lucky that we have the Jalon Valley as an alternative when rain
threatens. Today was sunny and warm, but
if it had rained we could have made for the nearest village to shelter.
