Fifteen of us for today’s
walk
The weather forecast
was for overcast, which it was at the start
Not a bad thing as most of the
climbing is up to the forat
It was very busy today, we saw
at least five other groups
Even at the first water stop we
were still well wrapped up
However we warmed up as we
climbed
Even scrambled in a few places
Not everyone enjoyed going
through the forat
But everyone did enjoy the
wonderful view at the far end
And we were fortunate that the
sun came out as we had our banana break
This really is a spectacular
walk
And not nearly as difficult as
some of the photos make it look
A cool breeze made us postpone
our usual lunch spot
And we had an extra issue of
boiled sweets to get us to the fort
The wind was still quite cool,
but there are plenty of wind breaks
And out of the wind it was pleasantly warm
There is also plenty of space
so we could spread out for our picnic
After lunch it was downhill on
very good tracks
So we could enjoy the
constantly impressive views
Ending a lovely walk with a
cold drink at Bar Refugio
