Walk 21st June 2008

Because of the transport drivers dispute last week we had to cancel our planned outing to the Alpujarras and go with a local walk instead, this was a circular walk starting in Mondújar and going by way of the old Buddhist retreats to the GR7 and returning to the old Arab castle in Mondújar. Sunday was the first really hot day of the summer and I know it is only a short climb up to the castle but boy! was I puffing when I got to the top, I must be getting old.
Afterwards we returned to Josetts house in Chite for tapa and welcome refreshment. Thank you to everyone who turned up.

Due to other commitments on Sunday, this weeks walk will be held on SATURDAY. The lorry drivers have called off their strike as they do want to cause any further damage to the economy, so we will revert back to last weeks plan A walk.

Plan A

A wonderful walk in the Alpujarras, we meet in Mondújar 9 am or at the Beznar roundabout at 9.10, before driving to Capileira for the start of the walk which takes us into the Poqueira gorge then alongside the river before climbing back up to Capileira.

Afterwards tapa will be held at Margaret's house in Murchas around 4.30pm
