Linda and Russell will be leading this walk into remote countryside up in the foothills of Monchique. The start is nicely shaded and flat and then we head up a gradual hill until we come to a small baragem and the hunting lodge. Then we loop round the valley heading mostly downhill whilst enjoying t...

Plus Janet for walk and lunch.

CANCELLED due to lack of interest. No more Friday walks.

It is 8kms and about 2 hours, two gradual uphills the rest reasonably flatish with a short section on an overgrown path. Two easy water crossings. Usual rules apply: wear suitable footwear, b...

Linda and Russell are leading this walk around the nature reserve near Alvor estuary. It is mostly flat, all on good tracks but can get dusty. Some shade on the way back. It’s about 7kms around 2 hours. Bring your binoculars if you like birds as there are lots of flamingos at the moment. Directions:...

13 walkers and 2 dogs and no hunters. Some of us stopped at the cafe for drinks after and 9 of us stayed for lunch.

We had 7 walkers today and one dog. We had to do a linear walk as the rally drivers were racing on part of the path. Then 5 of us went for coffee and then lunch at Chicken in the gutter.

It is National day on 5 October a big bank holiday. The hunters will be out so I have changed the walk to Figueira as it is not a hunting area.

A good start to the walking season as we had some cloud today so not too hot. The 6 of us and one dog completed the walk in 2 hours. Then 4 of us, plus dog had an al-fresco lunch at Ourique.

Linda will be leading this walk. We head up a gradual hill and then stay at the top enjoying nice views down to the valleys below. I am doing the walk the opposite way round to usual as we feel the 2 hills are much better. We get a fantastic 360 view on this walk. The walk is about 9kms. Some of the...

We can start walks from the 28th September and lead until Geoff comes out in late October. If anyone else wants to post walks before that please do. It’s has been way too hot so far.
