13 walking today, a smaller group than usual lately
The forecast was good, but it started off sunny but cold
We soon warmed up due to the sun and the gradual slope
And it was not long before we were removing layers
It was lovely walking through the woods with the sun
streaming through the trees
It was also nice to have a smaller group for a change
And it was nice to welcome Steve and Mirren on their
first walk since Christmas
Most, though not all, had done this walk before
So most were prepared for the long, steep climb
And at least one really pleased to reach the top
It is usually either too hot or too cold on the exposed
summit
But today it was warm with a cool breeze
However everyone was ready for lunch
So we were soon walking again
We reached the picnic spot at 1300, right on time
And it was really nice to be able to relax and enjoy the
warm sun
Our next stop was the natural mirador overlooking the
coast
Where we had a short break to admire the view
Then the long downhill walk back to Gata
And a very welcome cold drink in the bar
