Six of us for today’s walk
The day before there were eleven, but five cancelled due
to illness or the weather forecast
We were surprised to see so many grapes ready to
pick, and quite a few tractors full of them on the way to the bodega in Jalon
The weather forecast was for rain or storms,
depending on which one you read
But it was dry throughout the walk, though overcast at
times
That was not a bad thing, as you don’t want to be walking
in direct sun at this time of year.
We were pleased that the river was not too high, despite
recent rain
The rain and sun combined has resulted in everything
growing at a great rate
The clouds did thicken as we reached Alcalali and we
quite expected the rain which was forecast for 1100
We have not done these summer walks before, and
consequently did not know how long they would take
So we had an extra water stop at the Ermitia
On the way back to Jalon I turn a wrong turning and we
did an extra 20 minute unplanned extension
No one minded the extra walk, but some (who shall be
nameless) did complain about our late arrival at the bar
It was great to be able to walk in our lovely valley in good company after the long summer break
