Re Mortgage

By -
Thanks for the reports on recent activities of the Limpers however along with we many of the UK residents we are very concerned regarding the proposal for increase in fees as this will hit those of us on fixed income particularly hard, may even have to think re-mortgage
As you are aware we are unable to attend so please record our apologies. We would like to recommend that the chairman, social secretary, walk organiser and publicity secretary are all re-elected after doing such a magnificent job over the last year. Can we also propose the same varied programme of walks that we have recently enjoyed catering both members with energy & stamina of mountain goats and the less agile with dickey knees and broken toes.

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...

4 May 2014 Boca de la Pesca

This week we had a very easy walk planned to Boca de la Pesca. It was Mike’s 70th birthday and he wanted something befitting an old git, we also needed something with wheelchair access, well you never know, he is 70 now. This must be one of the most stunning short walks ever. From the moment you step out of your car, you are enveloped in beautiful countryside. To the East you have the snow covered peaks of the Sierra Nevada, South Picacho Alto and Puntales del Tigre, to the West there is  Pico Lucero and to the North, Granada and the Sierra Arrana. All our favorite spots on view, it’s enough to make an old man weep. The weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky, warm enough for T-shirts and shorts, but not too hot to cause any problems. It was only a short walk so we took our time as we climbed up to the peak and look out tower on Boca de la Pesca.  It was too early to stop for something to eat so we made our way back down the hill and headed off  on a l...

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...
