Eleven on today’s walk, including four new faces
The
forecast was changeable, but we started with a clear blue sky and a light
breeze
Easy
promenade walk followed by an easy climb
Banana
stop at “the ghost town”
Only
three takers to visit the abandoned urbanisation
The
rest had either seen it before or preferred to sit and recover from the climb
Nice
easy ramble over the heathland
More
people around as we neared the windmills
Where
we had our picnic lunch
With
pretty impressive views of Javea and the coast
Diny
and Jan seem to be enjoying their first walk with the Monday Explorers
I
was surprised that it was not busier at the windmills as it was a local holiday
So
we had a very pleasant half an hour enjoying the sun
Tricia
and Jon have previously walked with the Wednesday Wanderers and managed their
first walk with us without any problem
It
began to cloud up as we started the return journey
We
returned on the opposite side of the valley, with an excellent view of the
abandoned urbanisation and Bernia behind
This
is always a popular walk and there were more locals around than usual
We
were a little concerned that we might not be welcome in the bar if it was too
busy with diners
There
was plenty space and the sun put in an appearance
Heavy
rain arrived as we were driving back to Parcent, we were very lucky that it did
not arrive an hour earlier.
