6 June 2019 – Jalon Valley

We usually finish our walking season at the end of May until October

This year we have decided to try walking during June and September

They will be morning walks, rather than day walks

The plan is to start at 0900 and finish by 1200

We will try to avoid any climbing or hills

This is very much an experiment and will depend on how hot it is

We will have to find out how hot is too hot by trial and error

We don’t have any suitable walks at present

So each walk will be a recce until we build up a set of suitable routes

Today was the first one and was planned as a circular walk

The highest temperature was 24c, which was quite comfortable

We started at the “chicken shack” in Parcent

Then along the “pipe line” towards Jalon

After an hour we took the road towards Alcalali

And had our banana stop at the hermitage of Sant Joan of Mosquera

After a second stop at the Alcalali mirador we arrived back in Parcent at 1210, just ten minutes late
