17 of us for today’s walk
Lovely clear and sunny morning
A little chilly when we started
But warm enough to take off the first layer when we had our water stop
I sometimes worry that we only have 16 valley walks
Which means we repeat each walk every three to four months
But no one else seems to notice, let alone complain
Particularly on such a lovely day as today
The almonds have finally made an appearance
Still only a shadow of previous years
But on a day like today offering great photo opportunities
The wooded section of the walk also looked lovely in the bright sunshine
All agreed how lucky we are to live in such a lovely area
With such a wide variety of low level walks
And, of course, the Alcalali Ermita
I have come to think of this picnic site as similar to Piccadilly Circus
Where is you wait long enough you will see everyone you have ever known
Or at least those who live in the Jalon Valley
I was surprised that there were not more walking groups today
At this time of year, and on such a nice day, I would expect it to be very busy
This is the week when Alcalali would normally have its Almond Festival
Not sure if it is on this year, given the shortage of blossom
We visited Riu Rau after the walk
Despite drinks being a little dearer there
Everyone agreed it was well worth the small extra cost
Temperature – 16 to 22c
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9 km
