Costa Blanca Mountain Walkers

 - 3rd March: Bco de Calvo & Bco de Malafi

Another wonderful sunny day, with the temperature reaching around 25. Not a drop of water to be found in the Barrancos – a first for some of us walking with Jon on a Barranco walk! Rocky did his usual good job of leading 25 of us – except through no fault of his own, his owner deviated for about five minutes from the track, but Rocky soon rescued him (together with the other 24). One walker decided the return leg of the walk was too short and opted out to do a longer return. This gave rise to a certain amount of confusion as to how many walkers there should be. A role call was almost necessary. It appears that some of us have now reached the point in our Third Lives when we have forgotten how to count. Two people had signed in after No 16 and left out nos 17 & 18 – they had signed in as numbers 19 & 20. (only Jon has the names) Maybe special ‘counting’ training is now required for the Sweepers!

A wonderful walk enjoyed enthusiastically by everyone – thank you Jon.
