We Don’t stop hiking because we grow old- we grow old because we stop hiking
Hola Todos,
I have pleasure in informing you of our next walk on Friday 3rd November, The Lion King walk.
Day: Friday Date: 3rd November 2023 Time: 10.00am
Distance: Km 10 Height gain: 130m Est’d Duration: 3hrs.
Est’d Difficulty*: moderate, because of its length
RV Location: At the last Roundabout of Calle Sta. Elena, 2, 03680 Aspe, Lat. 38.335929, Long. 0.745991; What3Words: http://w3w.co/blurry.isolation.kindly.
For those uncertain of finding the place, meet at Repsol gas station Hondon de las Nieves to leave there at 9.30 to travel in convoy. Should you get separated, here are the navigation instructions from the Aldi in Aspe:
From Aldi passing by Hyperber (was Mercadona), roundabout straight ahead, next roundabout 3rd exit, next roundabout 1st exit CSL Aspe (new hospital), this road is called Camino Entrepinos and then Via Pista you will reach the starting point.
Walk Description: This walk for the Group is provided and led by Cees.
From the starting point we go right and walk down on a paved pathway down to the railway viaduct, passing by the old aqueduct (Puente de los 5 Ojos) and on to the river.
We then cross the river over a small bridge and turn left, walking through an old tunnel and at the end we turn left. There you will enjoy the view and hopefully see The Lion King (use your imagination!)
We return via the old tunnel and cross the river. Back on the river side we turn right, and walk alongside the river where there are some old buildings with several information boards. Alongside the river there are various points of interests such as the Castle. We will eventually turn left and return to the starting point via a paved pathway.
Overall, it is a tranquil, easy walk that is not too demanding. There are 2 short, narrow descents at the beginning of the walk, but you will be rewarded with a beautiful vista.
Special Notes: the walking time depends on the interests of the walkers.
Lunch: No arrangements have been made
Equipment: Walking boots providing ankle support recommended and a stick or pole if you feel uncomfortable on loose footings.
As ever, your personal water supply and first aid kit and protective clothing if required by the weather.
Dogs: Dogs are welcome but may require to be on a lead on some parts of the walk.
