17 of us for the first walk of 2019
This included David who has just returned from the UK
Jan was not on today’s walk
She has a bad dose of flu and I left her at home
in bed
It was a sunny morning, but very cold as we started to
climb
I was really pleased that John found not one,
but two fossils
Proof, if proof were needed, that the name of the walk is
justified
It is quite a steep climb at the start but the pace was
moderate with water stops
It took us about an hour to reach the finca and our
banana stop
Quite surprised to find quite a lot of almond
blossom so early in January
By now we had warmed up and removed our outer layers
And this section has impressive extensive views
It was great to be out in the open on such a lovely
winter day
Arrived at our picnic spot right on time
Where I distributed the sweets Jan had packed for the
group
We then had a short unplanned detour when I lost the
track
But quickly recovered and soon reached the
donkey field
I fed them the sliced apple which Jan had packed for them
Then a gentle walk down the rugged valley
Lovely walk, great company and a good start to 2019
