The walk at Parque Del Clot on Wednesday 20th was attended by 27 walkers and didn't turn out as expected. First of all we came across a gate which was not there last year which threw me as I knew we did not turn left at a gate. This after turning round and returning to the gate added an extra 3.5kms to the walk . Then before we knew the bottom footpaths were flooded I knew that after a stop for people to catch up we would not make it back to the car park before 1.30. Several walkers had lunch booked for 2pm in Rojales so they walked on, they had not gone far before before finding the flooded footpaths which appeared impassable. The group then split, some retracing their route, some waded through the floodwater and the rest made there way to the N332 where they were eventually picked up.
However everyone finished safe and well if not a bit tired. The ones who walked to the N332 coverered just over 10kms as did the waders, the group who returned by reversing the walk covered just over 14kms. Apart from that it was fine the weather dry and a nice day for walking.
I must warn walkers that it is imperative that the back marker is made aware of anyone leaving the group.
The map included below shows the route to the N332.
