I find it amazing but gratifying that so many people want to do some walking, today we broke another record and there was a total of 36 people on the walk.
This is a fairly easy route on the outside of Coin, we started from the Car Park outside of LaTrocha and took to the track that runs along the end of the poligono and down to the 7 way junction. We then walk down the concrete track to meet the acequia track towards the 'Toblerone' bridge. After a while we reach the derelict house with the amazing graffiti, and most of the group took the opportunity to take a look inside. This is unfortunately when such a large group can come unstuck, we started off for the river taking the road after a warning to take care, and a request to stop by the river. Unfortunately a couple of ladies needed to take a comfort break at the house and the group became very spread out and it took me another 2 km to catch the front of the group, maybe I need to get some walkie talkies. All ended well as I caught the head of the group and made a head count to confirm that no one was missing, thanks to David and Ian who did a stirling job as back markers and rounding up any stragglers.
We rambled along the river banks and were now becoming grateful fro the shade from the Eucalyptus trees that bound the river. A short break for refreshment and a quick group photo and we head back out of the valley and back onto the acequia track. It's then a short sharp incline to pick up the tracks along the ridge of the valley and back up to the start. A well deserved sit down at the Cafe/Bar for a well earned beverage.
I sincerely hope that everyone enjoyed this walk, as we had a lot of new people on it and that they will join us for more walks in the future.
