Linda and Russell will be leading this walk. It's around 10 kms on mostly good tracks, no tarmac, one gradual long uphill, the rest mostly flat or downhill. It is in an area of remote countryside. There are 3 water-crossings which should be easy to jump over. We should get nice views down into the valley as we wind our way around the the top of the hill. Usual rules: wear good footwear, bring a pole if you use one, bring a drink, walk at your own risk, no charge.

MEET 9.45AM. Cafe Casa de Pasto Riba E Terinha ar Rasmalho. Directions: From the N125 at Portimao turn off and follow signs for Monchique. Go straight ahead at the roundabouts, go onto N266 direction Monchique, pass a petrol station on the left, after 1km you come into Rasmalho. The cafe is on the left. Park on the right as we will be driving a further 2kms to the start of the walk.

The cafe should be open for those wishing to arrive early for a coffee. We may stay for lunch at the cafe in Rasmalho after the walk. They do a set menu for 12 euros.

Please indicate below if you would like to join the walk and if you are staying for lunch.

A really nice walk today, plenty of wild flowers and bird song. The river crossings were relatively easy and plenty of water for Toby dog. All 13 of us stayed for lunch in Rasmalho, all oblivious to the National power cuts until Colin received a phone call with the news. Plenty of food, we just had to go without coffee.
