We met David, Rosemary, Mick and Pat at Benimaurell for our
favourite walk. This was to be the
first “real walk” since my ankle problem.
It is a steep climb up from the village, and the going on top is quite
rough.
As soon as you leave the village you start to climb, and we
were all out of breath within ten minutes.
None of us has done any strenuous walking for some weeks.
This is not typical of the path! I had not noticed these steps before, and
they do not continue for long. But they
make a nice photo with the coast as a background.
We set a slow pace for the climb, and took frequent short
stops to recover. Not that any of them
seem to be having any problems in this photo.
It took us about an hour to reach the top, and our banana
stop. The view from here alone makes
the climb worthwhile. And from now on
the ever changing views are a delight.

hard to find path
The going is quite rough and broken, but we took frequent
stops to enjoy the view. Today was for
enjoyment, not a race.
We stopped for lunch at our usual spot. Lots of flat rocks to sit on sheltered from
the light wind and superb views all make for a very pleasant picnic site.
It took us just over four hours to complete the walk and
reach the bar for a well deserved cold drink.
