Walk Monday 9 January 2017 : Enxerim ( CLOSED)
Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2016 1:51 pm
Welcome to the 2017 Walking Season of the Carvoeiro Ramblers......but walk is now closed as we have enough people.
I was amazed that we last did this walk on 6 Jan 2014, so it's about time we repeated it, as long as I can remember it all! We did do it in May 2014, but in reverse order : consensus was to keep to the original version, so here goes...it will help clear any New Year cobwebs!
It's about 2 hours 15 minutes , and has quite a long climb in the early stages,(about ten/fifteen minutes) up some scree, and is quite steep in places ; but after that the paths are good and there is a gentle descent, along with some lovely views.
Degree of Difficulty : the steep climb makes that part a grade 4 ( strenuous) but the rest is overall grade 2.
Cafe does ( or rather did) coffee and beer at 80cents!
For those that want to stay for lunch, we will probably go to Cafe Casinhas, about a 2 km drive away, if it's open after the Christmas break....otherwise, probably the Mia Rio, about 3 or 4 kms away.
Walking boots or stout trainers are recommended, along with walking poles.....and a hat and water.
If it's wet, we won't be going.....but bring some wet weather gear in any case!.....any cancellations will be posted by 0830 on the day
Tel 282 380015 if you need more info, preferably between 0830/0930 and 1700/1900......before 0915 on the day!...but not before 8 Jan.
As usual, all at your own risk, and no charge.
Start : 1000
Directions:
From CVO, go to Silves and cross the bridge.
Turn right on the N124 , and bear right over the next roundabout in the direction of Messines.
Go past the Galp petrol station , on the left , until, after about 1.5kms from the bridge, you turn left almost opposite the residential guest House Vila Sodre.
Almost immediately, turn right, and park after about 100m, just before the Cafe Cantinho do Enxerim.
IF you go over the bridge on the N124, you have gone too far!
Please indicate below if you can come, as numbers may have to be limited.
