Walk:Thursday 1 December 2016. Pocco Barreta CANCELLED
Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2016 3:51 pm
Please note this particular walk is cancelled.....it was rearranged from 24 November and I have just realised it is too close to the Casinhas walk on 5 December where parts of the walks coincide. Sorry for any confusion.
A nice easy Thursday Stroller walk and return of an old favourite!
A 2 hour level(ish) walk in some lovely countryside, ending at a nice cafe that does a mean tosta mixta!...and opposite the Station Cafe that does a good Prato de Dia for 7.5€..... or 8€ if you want butter on your bread!
Degree of difficulty:scale 1to 5 .....2 Moderate
Directions.Driving from CVO to Silves, do NOT go over the bridge but continue up the hill with the Hotel Colina dos Mouros on your left.
After 3.7km, fork left where the road divides, in direction of Algoz.
After a further 2km ( 5.7km from the Silves bridge) you will be in Poco Barreta. Park by station on right at end of village, opposite Cafe Snack-bar Sustelo.
Do NOT go over level crossing.
(For those that know the area, you can go inland from Lagoa and come out at a T junction just past the level crossing : in which case, turn left and park opposite cafe).
Start.Meet at 10.00.
Stout trainers or walking boots recommended. Hopefully, sun hats and water as well!
Any queries, please ring 282 380015 before 0900 or between 5 and 6 pm, but not before 30 October.
IF it's very wet, we won't be going. If showery, bring waterproofs......any cancellation notice will be posted by 0830 on the day.
Due to Increased numbers on walks, it is ESSENTIAL that you indicate below if you can come, numbers will be limited to 20.
No charge, of course.
All walks are at your own risk.
