It’s many years since we last walked with the CBMW, but we
were tempted because this is a 10 km circular walk around Calpe which we had
never done before
The
walk starts in the centre of Calpe, but it does not take long to leave the
built up area behind and walking in unspoilt countryside.
We were quite surprised that there were only 31 walkers on
this “easy” walk. The leader said it
was the largest group he had led, so perhaps there are fewer walkers than a few
years ago.
We were really pleased to see that Mick and Pat were in the
group. We have not seen them for quite
a few months, and Pat has not been well.
She managed the walk very well, including the occasional climb.
The
views were not as impressive as some of our normal walks, but this view of
Bernia was pretty impressive
It was unseasonably hot today, 36c in the shade when we got
home. So the pace was slower than usual
and frequent halts in any suitable shaded areas we passed.
About half way through the walk Jan stumbled and fell on her
left wrist, the same one she broke earlier in the year. It was very painful, and we thought that she
might have done some serious damage.
When we told the leader he suggested that we leave the group and make
our own way back to Calpe, even though Jan wanted to return with the
group. Thanks to Mick and Pat who
insisted on leaving the group with us.
Mick had a local map, which proved very useful as we had no idea how to
get back to Calpe. We managed quite
well and returned before the main group.
