THE HILLS OF ODELOUCA – WEDNESDAY 27 SEPTEMBER 2023

 

THE HILLS OF ODELOUCA – WEDNESDAY 27 SEPTEMBER 2023

After cancelling the walk on Tuesday due to lack of interest Ros messaged to say she had already arranged to pick Terry up.  They had forgotten to advise me they were walking.  So, the walk went ahead as advertised.

 


Just 3 walkers. Ros, Terry, Linda plus Toby the dog.

 



We headed out at 9.30am hoping it wouldn’t get too hot.  We walked up and down the hills, into the valleys and back up and down the hills.  Enjoying nice views and a cooling breeze from the tops.  Lots of chatter along the way and Terry updated us on his holiday to North America and the Antarctic.

We found a small amount of shade to stop and eat our snacks.

Toby found a muddy baragem to cool off in and later a brown muddy puddle.


Back down the hill to enjoy cool drinks at the Ourique Restaurant.   We finished the walk in 3 ½ hours having cut a small section out, thus reducing the walk to 12 kms.  It was too hot to do any more.

  2. Yes Toby's looking very well. Obviously well fed while on his sabbatical.

    Looking forward to hearing about Antarctica.
