WAGS 01.05.2019 Terry in Alte

 Rod and I both away this week - Rod in UK on family duties and Myriam and I on the High Seas, actually docked in Tenerife on this day.
     Terry was the volunteer as usual and offered a walk in Alte. In his inimical fashion, the WhatsApp call went like this:-

Hi all, I willing will walk on Wednesday 
and lead anyone who would like to 
come, we can't sit on bums anymore
 and blame the weather, let's meet at 
Alte O Folk lor cafe for 10 am start let 
me know if coming.

Quick responses from Ingrid Yves and Dina, and by other media from Janet.


Ingrid proved her expertise with the starter photo, though how remains a mystery for the moment.

We were in Lanzarote when I received this starter pic from Terry and the accompanying description

Morning Paul hope your cruise 🚢 is good. Five of us had a good walk yesterday from Alte needless to say it was heaving with people for the May 1 day celebrations, very 🥵 walk  gasping for refreshments, this time I knew where to go to get TM and much needed Sagres. Would you like me to wait till you are back before I send report & pics? Let you get on with whatever you do cruising. 😎

    As we had a tough walk getting up here with Myriam.......


...I reserved the right to deal with WAGS affairs until we returned.

On returning on 7th May, I received some pics and a short billet douce re Terry's walk, which are set out below for completeness.



Not much evidence of walking.............!


.... more a spa visit, but even Janet didn't take the waters.


Tel even got the date right on this pic!


Not walking again!!


Janet seems to have been booked as the lead model for this photographic essay.

Here is Terry's succinct walk report:-

The famous 5 turned up in Alte for a hastily planned walk on a hot dry Wednesday which has been in short supply lately, I kept it easy along good tracks, past the fount were it was getting ready for a day of mass barbecuing drinking and enjoyment. The walk was just a big loop round via Benafim and back to Alte, too hot just not used to it yet, but at least we got out and done it. Thanks 

The stats were also furnished


which showed that he had been rather cavalier with the WAGS parameters. Never mind, we will balance that out next week.

   And of course the obligatory post walk restorative provender!



which look exceedingly nutritious, and I am sure compensated for the extra kilometrage.


Yves shadow boxing on what looks like a very pleasant day to sit in the shade.

Thanks Terry for keeping it going, an offer which is open to all WAGS on any Wednesday!
