Costa Blanca Walks

Costa Blanca Walks WELCOME TO GEOFF'S COSTA BLANCA WALKS! http://www.costablancawalks.weebly.com Walks are from October to April. Often a car is needed to access the start.

Most are near Benidorm or Calpe, with a more northerly walk near Jalon or Gata once a month. There is a walk every Wednesday starting at 10.30 - these are usually the easier walks. On Saturdays we arrange longer walks with higher ascents so these tend to be moderate / hard. The aim of the walks is to enjoy the scenery and to make friends. The pace will be steady , with stops to admire the views, recover from climbs and examine features of interest. There will be a picnic lunch on the walk and a social drink at the end. The walks are of a moderate standard, divided into three grades:
^^ Easy Mod. 8km. 200m asc. 3hrs ( incl. stops)
^^^ Moderate 10 km 300m ascent 3.5 hrs ( incl. stops)
^^^^ Hard Mod. 12 km 400m ascent 4 hrs ( incl. stops )

There is no charge for the walks. If you want to show your appreciation then offer the leader a drink at the end. Many paths in Spain are rough and rocky , with steep sections with a loose surface requiring mountain boots with a thick sole , deep tread and ankle support. BOOTS MUST BE WORN FOR ALL WALKS! You will be required to sign in at the start to say that you walk at your own responsibility. YOU WALK AT YOUR OWN RISK. You need insurance. The Austrian Alpine Club UK for £36 a year covers rescue, medical and repatriation costs. I hope to see you on a walk soon, Geoff.

When driving up from the N 332 cross over the railway line and use one of the turnings on the left to park.

WEDNESDAY OCT 29TH BERNIA FOREST TRAIL 6km + 100 m asc. 3 hrs GEOFF
A high level undulating promenade along a forest track with spectacular views down to the coast, leading to a lovely picnic area with chairs and tables.
Because parking is limited and access is only by a long steep mountain road we will meet in the lay-by at KM 19 between Altea La Vella and Callosa
We start walking at the picnic site, with its limited parking, which is reached by a long, steep, winding road, recently resurfaced.
But we will meet at the the bottom at 10.30 to share cars.
From the N332 drive through Altea la Vella , go past the Bernia signs, then just before the KM19 sign pull ( slowly ! ) into a large lay-by on the left.
Junction with Partida Riquet
