June Captain's Charity walk - Registration is Closed

The Captain's walk in June will be on Friday 28th June, starting and finishing at Dave & Maddy's villa in the Vale de Milho area of Carvoeiro, followed by a buffet lunch to those who choose to.

Lunch and walking numbers are limited to around 40 people, so walkers only for the lunch please - in the event of a “full house” members and their partners will have priority ahead of guests.

WALK DESCRIPTION

From Vale de Milho, we will walk along the roadway/paths towards Benagil and onto Praia da Marinha where we will start a beautiful cliff walk to Benagil and Praia do Carvalho, both stunning beaches with great views. At Cabo Carvoeiro we will head back towards Rocha Brava and on towards Vale de Milho. This walk is 11.5kms and will take over 3 hours with stops to admire the views. Given that a section is on the cliffs it is steep in places and there are a number of steps to negotiate - it is a difficult walk, but well worth the effort. Refreshmants are available at a numbr of outlets at Praia da Marinha and Benagil.

For those that do not wish to walk such a distance there is an option to park opposite Benagil’s O Literal restaurant, which cuts out the steps and reduces the walk by one hour in total. Please inform Keith Scott if you intend to take this option, and enter the relevant comment when registering.
