The walk on Wednesday 14th October is at Novelda. We will be leaving La Marina a 9.30am prompt.

The walk on Wednesday 7th was attended by 23 persons, and was the first walk under the rules imposed as a result of Covid 19. The day was warm and sunny which was uncomfortable for the walkers who continued to wear their masks. The walk was 9.84kms and at least we were able to enjoy a coffee break at Playa Flamenca.

 Well here we go again but with some changes due to the Pandemic. The walk on Wednesday 7th October is the Nautilus Walk from Avenida Pacifico, Torrevieja, To get there leave the N332 at the hospital turn off and drive towards the sea, down to the next roundabout and turn left then right.

As you are all aware the walking season was abruptly cancelled at the beginning of March due to the coronavirus, at the moment we are hoping that we will be able to restart in October. In the meantime I would like to thank everyone on behalf of the walk leaders for your support last year. Hope everyone has managed to stay safe and well and can continue to do so. Enjoy your summer!

Because of the restrictions being imposed as from Monday by the Government . Rod and I have decided to cancel the Wednesday 1 walks until the restrictions are lifted. Keep watching this space for any updates. Hope everyone stays well.

The next walk on Wednesday 18th March is at Lo Pepin and not Orihuela Campo as per the programme. We will be leaving La Marina at 9.45am.
As we all know the Coronavirus is continuing to effect every day life and impose certain restrictions, please watch the blog or the facebook page for information on any restrictions which may be imposed which effect the walking group.
The walk on Wednesday 11th March, well done to the 43 walkers who attended the walk and completed the 6.2kms. It is the shortest walk we do but is probably the hardest in relation to the height gained which was 138metres. It was unfortuneate for some that the walk fell on the hottest day of the year so far and caused some dificulties but at least everyone finished okay. In the pictures for this walk I have included the elevation profile so the ups and downs of the walk can be seen.

The walk on Wednesday 11th March is a "Walk on the wild side". This walk is only just 6kms but is up and down on uneven ground. There is no coffee stop so bring a drink. We will be leaving La Marina at 9.45am.
Note: the walk on Wednesday 18th March has been changed to Lo Pepin and the walk on the 25th has been changed to Orihuela Campo.
The walk on Wednesday 4th was attended by 43 walkers on a sunny and warm day, it was just under 9.5kms.

Below are the pictures of the Montebello walk that I didn't have time to do last week.
