Meeting point was the café at Alto do
Relogio with wonderful views of where we were heading.
We dropped down into the valley and
up the other side passing Goldra Dog Santuary,creating quite a stir,however I
had pre warned Jan Henderson!
Thank you Martin for doing the
honours at trig no 1,the two younger ladies had sick notes.
On the steep descent the walk leader
resorted to going down on her bottom and Martin didn´t even shout his usual
“Hurry up Sue”.
Onwards to the first windmill and
great views over Sta Barbara and the sea,thankfully Mar Shopping was hidden
round the corner.The opposite view was to the other side of the 270 where
somebody thought there was a lake,however I had to point out it was a solar
farm!
After our visit to the second
windmill and on a narrow path,David warned those behind that it was slippery at
which point Russell fell backwards into a very thorny bush. Hope Linda got all
the thorns out.
Lunch stop at the house for a cup of
soup then off down the lane,the little
detour was noted by Richard.
Before we got to the second trig
point we spotted a tethered donkey and Sue .R was kind enough to share her
beautiful apple with him.
The café owner was delighted when we
returned,not sure how they make any money.
Distance 1.8klms ( I know Sue said it would be a short walk as she kindly lead at short notice, but it wasn't that short! Ed)
