Costa Blanca Mountain Walkers

 - 21 February: Two Summits above Pego

Due to wet conditions following torrential overnight rain Dave decided not to do the walk planned but to substitute it for something considerably more moderate. This alternative, which will be included in the Autumn programme, is a new walk for our group. It had only been recc'd a few days before so this "dummy run " proved most helpful.

Five turned up at the start, two chickened out before we could get underway due to a vague hint of rain (both, incidentally from the so called A team - oh how the mighty have fallen !!) and the remaining three set off a little latter than normal. O.K. the skies were grey and miserable, it was cold and damp, all 3 were soaked from the crotch downwards within 10 minutes of the start and the leader managed to get lost even before they got wet but all agreed it was a wonderful few hours out in the fresh air which they wouldn't have missed for the world !!

Dave, as you can probably imagine, is getting even more paranoid about about his lack of popularity, his last 3 walks having attracted 5,4 and now 3 walkers including himself. Who's going to volunteer to have a quiet word in his ear?
