The Walk













The Statistics

The orange line, as opposed to the red, is the GR13 aka The Algarve Way; we didn´t do that bit.




Flat enough, I think.

The Lunch 

This was at Casa de Pasto Norinha, where we were joined by Chris and Rachel Davis.


Lulas grelhadas

  A good day for walking. Here is Antje, the Leader´s report On a sunny day seven of us met up for coffee at Lagos railway station cafe Waiting for  Chris and Antje’s  arrival were the prompt Maria, John, Myriam and Paul; Lesley soon joined us. We drove to Meia Praia station and walked from there on the road through the golf course to the lagoon. The Walking Wounded Does anybody understand these signs? Dung beetle ? Not like the African ones. "Wait for me !" Once at the lagoon, Chris, Paul and  Myriam, the latter having just had surgery on her wrist, left us to return to enjoy a coffee at Bar Quim on the beach.  We, the remaining four, then walked on to the  end of the beach passing along the  small lagoon which is divided from the oyster beds in the  Alvor river outlet by a walkway (correct word? No. Causeway perhaps). The temperature was perfect with a cool wind  offsetting the warmth of the sun. The views were wonderful and Lesley...

WAGS 2025 10 29: Autumnal Thoughts, or The Sere And The Yellow

  These blogs have, from their very outset, adhered to two inviolable principles – the first, always to avoid politics, and the second ( as Yves will doubtless testify), never to take the mickey out of the French. However, over these past few weeks, it has become impossible to resist the temptation to override those principles. First, there has been the example of M. Le Président Micron who keeps losing his Prime Ministers and then he loses France´s Napoleonic crown jewels. But we will not dwell on him. Then there was the sight of ex-Président M. N (for Napoleon) Sarkozy, marching off to La Bastille to the strains of La Marseillaise, convicted of trying to borrow money from a dictatorial Libyan called Gaddafi.
