Costa Blanca Mountain Walkers

 - Saturday 7th March: Two Castles via Miserat Summit (optional)

Either Gavin’s popularity is waning or David’s popularity is increasing.

6 people turned up, most of whom had been hardy walkers in their time.

The weather was not kind. Recent high temperatures had dropped, strong winds blew and the clouds built up. Short cut options were given by the leader if needed. The walk began and when the first spots of rain were felt an immediate conference was held. The leader remained strong and the walk continued. One person accompanied the leader to the Miserat Summit whilst the remainder sorted out a protected spot and chose to have an early lunch for much needed sustenance. After 4.5 hours another conference was held giving ‘short cut’ options. Only the Miserat Summit pioneer was still game! The party returned via The Refugio (cutting out half hour) in strong winds. Total walk time 6.5 hours.

A tired and relieved gang returned via the Refugio reminiscing mainly about the old (when I was fit) days. Quote of the day “The older I get the better I used to be.”

Is this walk to be repeated? If so – fitness training required!!
