23 September 2024 – Parcent to Murla

 20 on today’s walk

But unfortunately not Jan

She has had trouble with her hips and wanted to rest them today

 

Thanks to Tina for this one, don’t remember what was said, but it looks serious

 

Lorraine’s husband Adrian joined us for the first time

He seemed to fit in very well

Not a shy, retiring type – so just what we need

 

Suzanne also walked, after an absence of about three months


Lovely to have her walking again


The morning started cloudy and overcast

So I was a little concerned that it might rain

Fortunately the sun came out, but then it was a little too hot

 

We are certainly very spoiled with the weather here, especially compared with the UK


We were a little late reaching Murla

 

Partly because we had some new members, so more time spent explaining the area


I had arranged to meet Jan in the Parcent cooperativa at 1200

 

So we had a shorter than usual banana break

And without Jan I was the “sweetie monitor”

 
It was much warmer and some struggled with the minor uphill sections

So we had a couple of water stops, and kept the pace down

Despite this we arrived back in Parcent at exactly 1200 as planned

Jan was waiting and the whole group stopped for the after walk drink

Fortunately there is plenty of shaded space in the cooperativa

 

Another very enjoyable walk, but hopefully Jan will join us next week

  

Temperature – 16 to 24c

Time taken –3 hours

Distance – 9 km
