It is unusual for me to report on the "Monday Club" walks as this is usually done by our friends Jan & Paul, but today they were not able to walk with us and somehow I seemed to get the job as I have this Blog.
11 of us started from Font Moli near Finistrat in bright sunshine. There was just time for a team photo (and a sit down!) with the Puig in the background, then we set off uphill.
and continued up hill, never too steep but steadily up on generally good paths.
We paused at a ruined Finca and Wendy, Tom and Ken explored these cave rooms behind the property.
After a water stop Pat tells us we are almost at the top, our leader Peter was scouting ahead for the path. Note the spectacular views to the east of Benidorm and the sea.
As we approached the Col we came to this area that was badly burnt some years ago and, by this time, we were putting our coats back on as it was bitterly cold with a strong wind chill.
Finally we reach the crossroads on the southern side of the Puig remembering this point from a previous walk
Lunch was at this Refugio with some of us sheltering inside out of the wind.
Then continuing downwards on very good paths.
Mike had difficulty getting his leg over this fallen tree but was fortunate to have Sue and Jacki to give him a hand.
Returning to Font Moli after a great walk with spectacular views looking towards Alicante.
Next Monday's walk is at Castell de Castells at 10.00am - parking in the village. Those wishing to share transport should meet-up at the Golf shop near Teulada roundabout at 9.10am
