10 Oct 2011 – Bernia

Thirteen was a good turnout for our circuit of Bernia.  

All of the climbing is done at the start, and we were soon suffering from the clear blue skies and 30c.

Sylvia seems to be suffering less than some, as she strides up a rocky section. 

 Fortunately the ground was dry after the summer, because this part can be very slippery after rain

Then it’s through a low tunnel to reach the south side.   I took lots of photographs emerging from the tunnel, but not a single one was good enough to use!

 Then it’s a long walk along the more exposed southern side.   This part of the walk was improved a year or so ago, and is now much better than it had been.

 On such a hot day it was a long haul, so we were all glad to reach the fort

Not much shade available as we gathered in our groups for lunch

All except Mike, who seems to prefer his own company 

The “Leniston Group” consisted of David and Wendy

Next Week

Meet at Pedreguer Ermita at 1000 to walk to Castel de Axia
