4 March 2024 – Jalon Play Area


 This is a new addition to our walk programme

At present we have 12 valley walks, each 9km and about three hour’s duration

We also have three longer walks

These are Isbert Dam, Olta and Bernia

This makes a total of 15 walks

Each year we have 41 walking days (weather permitting)

So we would repeat each walk about three times a year

I would like to increase the number of walks available

However they have to be suitable for the group as a whole

Isbert Dam has a scramble and is a little longer at about 3.5 hours

Olta is a shorter version of the Olta circuit also about 3.5 hours

Bernia is from the car park to the fort, again about 3.5 hours

I would like to add another 5 suitable walks, making a total of 20

This would mean that we do each walk twice a year

This is the first of those extra five walks

The distance is about 9km, but the track is more difficult than normal

It took 3.5 hours to complete

 A few members found it more of a challenge than normal

One found it very difficult, but that was due to a medical condition

Most completed it without difficulty

More important they all enjoyed it, and want to do it again

 This was the easiest of the proposed new walks

We will try another one in two or three weeks

Temperature – 12 to 20c

Time taken –3.5 hours

Distance – 9 km
