Carretera de Cabra
The walk this week, the 25th March, saw us all meeting in Padul and, even though the clocks had gone forward during the night, everyone was on time. The big feature of this walk is the great car shuttle, which involved leaving 2 cars positioned at the end of the walk, 16 walkers and 3 dogs squeezed into 4 cars which were then driven to the start of the walk., about l 2km down the Carretera de Cabra., The cars had to be retrieved when we had completed the walk.. The walk is on a good quality campo road that twists and turns through farm land, and so far it has escaped the attention of the cement mixing road builders. The road is as near as you will get in these parts to a 12 km long down hill road, having only 3 short up hill sections. At all times you have extensive views over the Sierra Nevada. The weather was good and the strong northerly wind that had been blowing all week had abated. After all the walkers were reunited with their cars we all headed off to Rob and Sandy...
