21 December – Monday Ramblers – Benimeli Aerials

 

Lovely clear morning, though a little cold at the start

It is a stiff climb right from the start

So everyone was pleased to reach the banana stop

By then we were all warmed up, and the sun was shinning

The second half is easier, and we could stop more often

Everyone reached the top without any problem

The views from the aerials are quite spectacular

As they are on the short ridge walk to our picnic site

Fortunately we had the sun, as it is quite exposed

This is a favourite spot for a photograph

Which Toon and Anneke took advantage of

Julian brought home made stollen, which was a nice treat

It was nice to see Anneke and Toon on their first walk since lockdown

It is special to her, it was her first walk with us in November 2015

The return journey is downhill on good paths

And we have a short break to enjoy the views

On such a lovely day it was hard to believe it was almost Christmas

We had our after walk drinks in the sunny courtyard of Bar Tormos

Happy Christmas to all of our relatives and friends (walking or otherwise)
