19 October 2017 – Tossel del Moro

Fifteen of us today for one of our favourite walks

Heavy rain yesterday, and a forecast of more today, almost made us cancel the walk

However this morning it was overcast but the forecast was to improve

As we set out from Gata the sun made its appearance

The rain had made everything fresh and we were all really pleased to be out walking again

We had been walking for a couple of hours when Helen received a telephone call

Her husband was locked out, and she had the door keys

So she had to abandon the walk and make her way home

This one is much easier to climb than Soldates, the other Gata walk

The weather was ideal for our picnic lunch, sunny with a light breeze

And the views, as always, would be hard to beat

Jan dropped the top of our coffee flask, which rolled down the hill, but Alijke retrieved it before I could be sent to do so

Just as we started the descent we were relieved to hear that Helen had got back ok

The recent rain made the track easier than usual

Though it still requires some care and attention

The return to Gata was mostly downhill and very easy going

It was a short stop in the bar garden, because the recent rain brought out the mosquitos.   Despite that another very enjoyable Thursday walk.
