AWW 10.01.2007: Extra Final
Back to the Start
I for one was definitely feeling it after the 21km circuit of Morgado do Reguengos, and was really ready for the post walk medicine! I don't know whether it was because the Christmas handicapper had adjudged a weight penalty of 2.5 kg, or the 4 weeks since my last serious walk, or the cracking pace set by Elaine and Caroline. I was glad of the random pauses for route consultations during times of temporary uncertainty of position, as i was also attempting to write the Bamboo diagram for the walk. You may have noted that I have not published the Diagrams (yet!) as I feel that this is an organic route that requires nurturing and fine tweeking, before it blooms into full Classic Algarve Walk Status. The agricultural and building communities are doing their best to encroach on many of our walks, and it shows the value of the 'Three R's' in leading a walk that was last walked a year ago - Recce, Recce and Recce!
Thanks to Stan, Elaine and Caroline for their work on this relatively new area for our Wednesday outings.
