Walk 2 June 2025 : Norinho

[Geoff]

NB.....Please note earlier start time as it's likely to be hot....would Wendy & Kieran please confirm still coming?

Many thanks to Linda & Russell for taking over these walks : now back for the next couple !

A walk along the levada then up into the hills and around....NOT the big Enxerim hill, but a more gentle climb! A few hills, but nothing too steep.

Duration : about 2.5 hours...11kms....though last time it was 2 h 45 mins....but if it's hot, we can cut it short by at least half an hour.

Optional Lunch :.....but please see NB below... If prices are same as last time, it's 12.5€ for main of chicken or pork with covers/wine with an extra 2€ for pudding. Doradas and squid are pricier at 15€. Not sure about coffee.

Degree of Difficulty ( scale 1:5 ) : grade 3

Start: 09.00 .....but please arrive by 0845 if you want a coffee/order lunch.

Directions : drive from Carvoeiro to Silves, go over the bridge and turn right and follow the N124 for about 3.2 kms until you see Cafe Casa de Pasto a Norinho on your left : park in layby opposite.

GPS : 37°12'20.6"N, 8°24'38.0"W

It is ESSENTIAL that you indicate below if you can come and whether you want lunch, as numbers for walk will be limited to 20

Walking boots/stout trainers recommended and walking poles.

Usual caveats - all walks are at your own risk, and we do not walk if it is pouring with rain...no charge, of course...I will endeavour to put any cancellation note on this site by 0830 on the day of the walk.

Any questions , please ask .

NB I shall be without Sue my chaffeuse , so will only be doing lunch if some kind person can give me a lift from Lagoa, please!
