This is a new walk, planned as a shorter walk
for our Monday Ramblers
It consists of the regular Parcent to Murla
walk, plus an extension to Ermita Sant Sebastia
We had done the extension once before as a
recce
But did not know how long the whole walk would
take
We estimated it would be about 4-5 hours
We knew it would be a hot day, with a forecast
of 25c
When we reached the river at Murla we were
joined by a very friendly young dog
We did not encourage her, but she would not go
away
By the time we reached our banana stop at the
abandoned restaurant she was a firm favourite
She was very friendly and obviously enjoyed our
company, Jose named her “Luna” (Monday)
We had our picnic lunch at the Ermita Sant
Sebastia
Where despite our best intentions she shared
our lunch and water
We passed three workmen having their lunch, and
one said she belonged to them
However10 minutes later they drove past us and dropped her off to join us again
Soon after we passed this grave of an obviously
well loved pet dog
We stopped in Murla for a short break
As we passed the bar a customer said Luna
belonged to them
Although she started off as a problem, we were
a little sad to leave her
And I suspect she might well have gained a new
home from one of the dog loving group
The walk took 5.5 hours, much longer than
expected. But I can easily reduce it by half an hour next time. I suspect we will always remember it as “Luna's Walk”
Stats
Time taken – 5.5 hours
Distance - 11km
Total Ascent – 393 metres
