The climb is on the shaded side of Bernia and the path was
very muddy in places. But the climb
soon warmed us all up.
It was not long before the first layer of clothing was being
removed.
The forat which is narrow and low was very muddy and wet in
places, so all were pleased to get it over with.
As always the view on the other side was spectacular, and
being a sun trap provided a welcome rest before tackling the rest of the walk.
The path is much better signed than when we first tackled it
six years ago, but it is still a long walk on not particularly good tracks.
It has some very impressive scenery, but the track is rough
and broken and it’s not advisable to look around as you walk.
We made very good time, and arrived at the fort three hours
into the walk, at exactly the official lunch time of 1pm.
Lots of space to select a suitable spot for lunch, all with
great views. By now it was warm and
sunny, just like a good spring day in the UK.
Ideal walking, or picnic, weather.
Time for another group photograph on the way
back.................
..................and
another one of Peter who was off doing his own thing
There were excellent views of the Balearic Islands, and
Peter borrowed Dave’s binoculars to check them out. Everyone else just made the best of an
excuse to stop walking for a while.
Most of the bars close on Monday, but this favourite in
Pinos is always open. Everyone was
quite happy to sit and natter until the sun went down.
