2 June 2020 – Parcent to Alcalali (Pipeline)


We moved into level 2 of lockdown yesterday, which means we can drive to the start of a walk now.
Last year we introduced summer walks during June and September.   These were shorter walks of three hours and starting at the earlier time of 9am.   The aim was to have a relatively easy walk and get to the bar before the day got too hot.
All walks were cancelled at the start of lockdown, and we do not intend to start them again until we feel it is quite safe to do so.
However we now can recce suitable walks starting at the same place as we will do with the group.   This means I can record the route, note the time it takes and select suitable places for water breaks.
We did the first one today, from Parcent to Alcalali along the pipeline.
It was a hot day, temperature about 30c, so a good day to recce a summer walk
It was 9km and took us three hours, including three ten minute water stops
Lovely be out walking again, but we really missed the company of our walking friends.



Stats
Time taken – 3 hours
Distance – 9 km
