Paderne Walk - Registration is Closed

Description

The walk sets off from Paderne and takes in Paderne Castle, the first kilometre is a steep climb, but we will take our time. The walk is 7.5 K mainly on tracks and paths, the decent from the castle is via a loose stone track.

Additional Information

The castle's origins are Moorish, although it was extensively rebuilt during the Middle Ages and a chapel erected on the site of a former Mosque.  The castle is basically a ruin, however, monies have been approved and restoration is in progress

Note: Due to building work, it will not be possible to access the castle on the day of the walk.

Meeting Point/ParkingYou will need a car for this walk; we will meet at Paderne ARPA Associacao Recreativa, de Patingem de Albufiera (roller skating club), which is on the right, just before you enter the village of Paderne.  The leisure centre is just before the cemetery, so if you pass this you have gone too far.  There is ample parking at the leisure centre, we will meet here at 10:30, ready to walk at 10:45 hrs. There are no facilities at this car park.

Equipment

Walking boots are advisable, however, sturdy walking shoes or trainers (with good grips) will be OK.  As we are stopping for lunch you should not require food for the walk, however, it is advisable to take plenty of liquid.

Please note that the walks organised by SDM or their representatives are done so on a voluntary basis and the club or organisers cannot be held responsible for your personal safety.
