Linda and Russell will be leading this walk and numbers will be limited to 2 X groups of 5 people, so only 8 more places available. David and Mieke have agreed to lead an additional walk on Tuesday or Wednesday. We would appreciate it if people only book onto one walk each week so it will give more people an opportunity to enjoy a guided walk. Also we can only take existing CVO walkers at the moment.

The walk is 9kms, just over 2 hours. There is one uphill section but the rest is fairly flat, therefore quite a moderate walk. We have 4 x water crossings and a muddy area so wear waterproof footwear and bring plastic bags if it has rained heavy before the walk. It is very scenic as we walk beside the river and later head down a secluded valley beside a small baragem. The usual rules apply: wear suitable footwear, bring a drink, poles if you have them, no charge, walk at your own risk, respect social distancing.

There may be an opportunity to stay for lunch at the cafe after the walk and enjoy the set menu. This will be on tables of 5 or less.

The walk will start at 10:00am for the first group of 5 and the 2nd group will leave 10 minutes after.
Meet at Cafe Casa De Pasto Riba E Serra at Rasmalho.
Directions: follow the N125 towards Portimao then turn off and follow the signs for Monchique. At the Moundabout take the left turning for Monchique (N266). After about 3kms at the village of Rasmalho you will see the Café Casa De Pasto Riba E Serra on your left. Park on the right-hand side of the road, opposite the café.
We will drive to the start of the walk which is around 2kms further along the road.

The phone contact on the day will be 0044 7960552618. Please indicate below if you will be joining us for the walk and if you would like to stay for lunch.

Hi Linda/Russell,

Are you sure you have got the rules right? As I read them, on weekdays there is a curfew between 11pm and 5am but no restrictions on travel either within or between conselhos apart from that. I may have missed something somewhere.

Take care,

Mike

Hi Mike thanks for that. I just checked and looks like we are okay to do the walks during weekdays for now. So the walk is back on. See you Monday. Linda
