16 December 2024 – Alcalali to Parcent Play Area


19 of us for the last walk of 2024

The relatively low numbers reflect how many members had already left for Christmas holidays

No less than 14 have confirmed that they would miss this last walk of the year.

However Barry and Linda arrived in Spain just in time for the last walk

We shall miss Janette who returns to the UK after an extended visit

It was even colder than last week

But the forecast promised more sun

We had pondered whether to wear Christmas hats

But decided against it as hardly anyone did last week

Lovely and sunny, though quite chilly, for our banana break at the play area

Thanks to Kris for taking this festive group photo

This was our 40th walk of the year

Not as impressive as the 77 completed in 2013

But we were doing two walks each week then


The membership has also greatly increased during the year

We had 16 resident and 10 non resident members in January 2024

We now have 33 resident and 18 non resident

We have lost 6 resident members during the year, with 4 more that have 

not walked for 3 to 6 weeks.

This is more than we had planned, but it is very difficult to restrict numbers

Thanks to everyone who supported the group throughout 2024

And look forward to walking with your again in 2025

Temperature – 5 to 12c

Time Taken – 3 hours

Distance – 9 km
