| The
walk was led by Stewart Common.
Despite a later
start time (6pm) the weather was very warm as 17 of us (and Max) met up at
Km 29 on the A-356 to the west of the dam.
The walk was to
take us parallel with the A-356 before heading around the fields and
groves that skirt the lake. |
|
|
|
|
| The newly relaid (and
therefore dusty) track led us around the lake and gave us fine views of
Maroma and Periana. |
|
|
|
As we turned towards
the west the olive groves were very well tended and the shadows formed
regular patterns on the hillsides. |
|
We then turned right
and headed towards what was once the edge of the lake with its
"Fishing area" signs now marooned high and dry, hundreds of
metres from the waterline. |
|
|
|
We paused at the
"edge" of the lake to admire the view and take on water. |
|
|
|
| As we headed back along
the lakeside we were overtaken by a group of the El Valle Quaddies before
making our way back to the start point.
Following the walk a group of us
met up with a couple of the quaddies at Patanos' for a relaxing meal.
Our thanks to Stewart for
organising the walk. |
