This is a CBMW (S) strenuous walk involving (Scr) scrambling - led by our friend Peter Green (centre with the purple top). David walked in a group that included many other friends.
The walk is up a Barranco (Ravine) that is dry most of the time, it involves climbing the natural cataracts and then returning by good mountain tracks. After a cold start we have warmed up and need a water stop. Pat takes the opportunity to relax before we start the more difficult bits.
The thing that I like about this adventure is that we need to give each other help with the steep parts and this promotes a real team spirit. Here Peter gives a helping hand.
Because it is strenuous and Peter is a good leader we have lots of stops to get our breath back!! -
and have a joke or two!!
Care is needed on some of the dry waterfalls and ledges but help is always at hand.
Peter claimed that this was the last difficult bit - until we arrived at the next one -
- but we soon got through and here Jacky finishes the climb!!
This dam is only intended to hold back an extreme flood but it is also the end of the Barranco walk and the place where we climb up to our picnic/lunch spot and then return to the cars on good tracks. Thank you Peter for a very pleasant and satisfyingly strenuous day.
