Cancelled walk

Dear Limpers
With the continued grey skies and rain forecast to continue past Sunday, and with the imminent arrival this weekend of Nick and Carol, the well known harbingers of bad weather it is with deep regret that the walk this weekend is once again cancelled.

Ps I am sorry about the blank emails going out, it is whenever I try to send to the group that I am having problems.

Walk Sunday 2 December 2018 Sierra Manar

This week we went walking in the Sierra Manar, the range of hills behind Dilar.  The walk had been postponed from a few weeks back when it was raining every day, it’s not a walk to do when the ground is wet and muddy. The weather forecast for this Sunday was for sunshine and temperatures of 21 degrees, perfect walking conditions.  The walk starts from the Ermita Nueva and heads up a gentle slope through Olive trees.  After 1 km the path follows the tree line on what at first looks like a level track. It soon becomes apparent that it’s not level at all, but a series of switchbacks with steep ups and downs.  There were only 9 in the group, and we all walked together, chatting and enjoying the warm sunshine. Nobody thought to check that we all turned onto a path into the forest. It was only when we emerged on the other side we noticed our group had dropped to 7, Elsa and Martine were missing.  At first, we weren't worried, we thought they would so...

28th May 2006 Dilar

Dear Limper We had the first of the hot weather walks on Sunday when we returned to Dilar. The walk was advertised as suitable for all abilities with the intention that we would follow the river up the valley and return via the Boca de la Pesca, with the strollers amongst us turning back when they wanted. But with the temperatures expected to reach 32 degrees and everyone looking fighting fit, it was decided to get the hard part over at the start by climbing the 1000 ft ascent up Boca de la Pesca. This track takes no prisoners and everyone was relieved when they arrived at the top, There was no takers to the suggestion that we should go to the summit a further 300 foot of ascent. From this point the path runs level all the way around to the car park at Cerro de Sevilla before it descends back down to the Rio Dilar. Lunch was taken under a full services pine tree that provided comfortable seating and wonderful shade. Given the option I think the group would have stayed the...

BBQ 5 June 2016

This week we did not have a walk, just a BBQ in Dilar. My personal assistant, Antonia and myself have spent weeks organising this BBQ, we thought we had nailed it down to the finest detail but it still ended in chaos. This is the first time we have had a BBQ in a restaurant, the idea was a good one as we had visited this bar February whilst walking in the area and the tapas was amazing. What we had not taken into account was that the chaotic service we received on our first visit was just a sample of what they could achieve when we went for a meal.  The venue was superb with loads of shade from the trees and a garden like setting. It is close enough to the river to keep the temperature down, it must have been the most refreshing place in Granada. The atmosphere was good, with a lot of families there.  With no one in overall control, and most of the staff appearing to be on work experience, it was a recipe for disaster.   In spite of everything w...
