6 January 2020 – Lliber Hidden Valley

Bright, sunny day for our first walk of 2020
Chilly start so we were all well wrapped up
For most this was their first visit to this historic water system
We had warmed up by the time we reached Lliber
Everyone was pleased to be out walking again
Meeting at the start was like the first day back at school
For some years ago we had to do a detour to avoid an unfriendly farmer
However John had discovered that his field is now part of the official path
We still had our banana break in the dry river
But then we followed the now official path
Perhaps it was always the correct path and the farmer was just being difficult
It was particularly nice in the hidden valley with the sun shining through the trees
The only disadvantage of this walk is that there is not a good picnic spot with a good view at the right part of the walk
That is the main reason we made the walk longer by starting in Jalon
I have a lot of photos taken at this particularly good photo opportunity

 It is downhill all the way back to Jalon
We also did a small detour to avoid walking through Lliber
Very pleasant walk and a great start to the 2020 walking season
Stats
Time taken 5.5 hours
Distance 15 km
Total ascent 245 metres
