20 May 2024 – Alcalali to Parcent


We had planned to do the Montgo Iberian Settlement walk today

But once more had to cancel due to wet weather forecast

This is the second time I have had to do so

We have had really bad weather for the last four Mondays

Most of the week has been warm and sunny, particularly Sunday and Tuesday

So it has been really annoying that Monday is always worse day of the week

Despite the forecast we have managed two weeks out of four

One of those two Mondays we were lucky to get home before the worse of the rain

Once more this week I cancelled Montgo and arranged to meet in Jalon

We would decide which walk to do depending on the weather

Fortunately it was warm and sunny, with rain forecast for 1300

We walked to the Alcalali Ermita

As we had our banana break it was starting to cloud up, but not too bad

So we carried on up to the pipeline

Here we met up with the goat walking holidays from Col de Rates

It was sad to hear that they had very serious damage in the recent fire

Such a shame, as they are such a nice group of people

The promised rain arrived just as we reached bar Claudia

But we were home and dry before the hail stones arrived

Temperature – 20 to 24c

Time taken –3 hours

Distance – 9 km
