AWW Walk report – 24 April 2024 – Pine Forests and Baragems
7 walkers and 3 x dogs. Russell, Martin, Ness, Miriam, Ken, David, Linda (photographer) and the 3 dogs Toby, Bicca and Raffa.
We car shared to the start of
the walk then headed uphill towards the shade of the pine forest. We had to do an about turn when I realised we
had taken a wrong track. This added a
couple of extra kilometres to the walk, plus some extra hills. David asked if I lost some bonus points for
this.
We
came out of the shady pine forest to be greeted by a very full baragem which
the dogs made the most of to cool off.
Past some orange trees and the abundant wild flowers and then another baragem for the dogs to cool off again.
We had a rest stop before heading past the line of bee hives,
luckily we all got by unscathed.
The water crossing looked a bit difficult but we did a bit
of bridge building whilst the dogs had a good splash around.
A nice flat stretch and then downhill back to the cars and a
short drive back to the café for some well-earned cool drinks.
The dogs were pleased to rest in the shade. Raffa wouldn’t get out of the car.
We completed the 16kms in 4 ½ hours, including the lunch
stop.
Thank you for joining us and see you all soon. Linda, Russell and Toby dog.
Must be nice to walk in the warm! From a cold and cloudy, but not actually wet (at the moment) UK
ReplyDeleteLovely walk. We all enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteLooks a very pleasant walk, weather and water. But where was it? I lost the original directions.
