I had to work this morning. Yes the dreaded "W" word!🤣 We did a couple of short routes ... the Ruta Pavilla at Nigüelas followed by the stunning Cascada Alcázar at Conchar (photo beow). You can easily fit both routes into a full morning's walk.

Bougainvillea season has arrived!
@backpackandsnorkel the closest you will come to an Antarctic experience without going there.
Hiking the "Sendero de Pavilla" above the Andalucian town of Nigüelas. A short, but high quality route, on aerial walkways above the valley and alongside irrigation channels

I owe my existence today to the Anzacs. In early October 1917 my grandfather was trapped in a shell hole at the 3rd Battle of Passchendaele, (Poekapelle) Ypres. He had been there under fire from machine guns on the Bellvue Spur for 3 days and had developed severe trench foot. He was relieved by the II Anzac Corps and was able to crawl the 4 miles back to an Aid Station where he received aid and was repatriated to the UK. Without the Anzacs, he's probably still be there 🙏
"Acequias" flowing freely this morning. Don't think it will be long before they start to dry up though. Love the way the light has created small rainbows to the left of the falls.
The drought this year in Spain will be bad, I mean very bad. Water will be like liquid gold and as scarce as rocking horse crap. So, we decided to turn our swimming pool into a greenhouse instead. We are not particularly water babies, so thankfully don't use our pool. It's a small area, easily maintained, safe from winds and easy to water. 1/2
I've never got into "Reddit". For some reason it never appealed and I left well alone. But, once I saw that there was an alternative called Lemmy, I dived right in. Got to say, I'm enjoying the experience and finding it interesting.
So now I am on , , & . What other ActivityPub software would anybody recommend I have a look at?
Cat - wonder what she's thinking?
A section of the GR142 long distance path through the Alpujarras this morning. And what a morning it is. Have a great weekend everybody.
Back to Motril to pick up some new mountain sunglasses I had ordered as I sat on the last ones! Still, it's not a chore when you pass such lovely city scenes
Been on a city trip today. I like Motril. Laid back, friendly, great tapas bars and some beautiful walks and sights, such as Las Palmeras, Santuario Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza and Parque de los Pueblos de América

"The Hole in the Wall Gang", bandidas inglesas a Piedra de los Pajaros hoy 😀
And it's so nice to see the irrigation channels running full blast this morning. The dogs loved it!
The cooler air made for stunningly clear views this morning from the dog walk
No mountains for me this weekend, sadly. I'm putting my amateur developer head on & rebuilding my local walking club website. Originally was a Ghost site, I converted it to MD files & imported to @eleventy & used simplecss.org for easy styling. No Javascript. The usual post build production (html-min etc) gave me this result on Lighthouse. More than pleased with the day's work! Clean & functional, no frills, as you'd expect from this combination.
