21 walking today
This included 6 non residents
It is a good sign that the club is thriving
But it is considerably more than my preferred maximum of 16
All are regular members, and I don’t like to turn down anyone who supports the group
I have put new members on the reserve list, and have lost four because of that
At least four from this group will not be walking next week
Two are residents and two non resident
So the numbers should ease
From June members go on holiday or visit the UK
And numbers always fall off as a result
You will see from the photos that it was cloudy and overcast today
It is also getting warmer each week, despite the official temperatures
From next Monday we start our summer walks
These are the same valley walks that we do all year
But we start an hour earlier at 0800
And aim to finish by midday, when the temperatures start to rise considerably
It was a mixed blessing that it was overcast today
We did not have the very hot direct sun
But on the other hand it tends to be more humid with the cloud
Fortunately we had a cooling breeze for most of the walk
A larger group can be a problem for the after walk drink
But there is always plenty of room at the Cooperativa in Parcent
Though we did spread out over two large tables today
Temperature – 22 to 24c
Time taken –3 hours
Distance – 9 km
