Cool enough to walk

Its been a very long, and very hot, summer here in Spain. The locals say the hottest they can remember. So our second favourite hobby, hill walking, has taken a back seat. In fact we have not had a "proper walk" since early June.

Yesterday some friends asked us to show them a local walk. Its about 8 miles return, and ideal for the first walk of the season. The temperature was down to 28c, with a cool wind. Pretty well ideal for walking.

The "official walking season", when the local walking groups start meeting again, is still two weeks off. But I suspect that now we have got our walking boots on again the wargaming will take second place. We will still play two or three times a week, but not every day as we have during the summer when it is too hot to do anything outdoors.
