13
of us today – but there was nothing unlucky about this walk
We
had excellent weather so it was a good decision to cancel it last week
Colin’s
wife Karina had a day off work and joined us today
It
was also nice to have Alyke and Robert with us again after a break of a few
weeks
The
forat proved a challenge for the taller members of the group
But
the view made it worthwhile for all of us
The
group photograph does not do it justice
We were surprised that there were quite a few walkers on the mountain today
But
we plodded on at our own pace
There
was a pleasant breeze and we did not need shade for our picnic lunch
And
the view was quite spectacular
The
path is good enough to walk and enjoy the views
And
it seemed no time at all before we reached the fort
We
had a short stop there to explore the ruins
Then
off again on the final section of the walk
This
is by far one of the best walks
With
views that could have come from a walking magazine
One
final stop to enjoy the scenery
Then
downhill to the cars
And
a very welcome cold drink at Bar Refugio
