4 Fishes

Leaving Puntas de Calnegre we only get as far as Bolnuevo around the headland in the direction of Puerto de Mazarron

There's a vast car park there set back from the promenade and perfect for a few days wild camping

From there we are able to walk back towards Punto and cover the coastal path to around the midpoint

Absolutely beautiful here and pretty much all to ourselves this time of year

Back at base Nina raises a glass to the 'Big Idea' we are currently working on...

(To be revealed in the next post hopefully)

During the next couple of weeks we come and go (between coastal locations and countries too) and migrate back to Puntas where we team up again with the other nomads, namely Clarke Inc....and so become the '4 Fishes'

Seems they can't drag themselves away either...😀😀😀

Our time is spent walking our socks off and chilling in this lovely area

This walk and route home was the stuff of lunacy with no one owning up to being team leader...

The brave ex firefighters displayed courage and tenacity in leading the vulnerable, and often unapreciative female members of the party safely back to civilisation

Any moaning from the 'Doubters' was soon forgotten back at our favourite beach restaurant

Alive and happy bunnies..

A nod here to Mick who fixed my busted van door catch admirably by using..

one of Nina's hair bobbles!

Works better than new now!

(The 'Big Idea' is revealed next post)

Spainfest

We trundle down to Puntas de Calnegre and join the fellow 'Fishes' for what turns out to be a fantastic Easter week at the Taray Camper Park

Sounding much like an all inclusive campsite but in reality a big flat gravel car park for MHs with basic services, perfect in that it serves as basecamp for the six Chums next the sea

There's a favourite restaurant of ours right on the beach which serves as the watering and eating hole for the Young Retirees

Lots of walking ensues with trips up and down the local shoreline taking in the beautiful scenery that makes this part of Spain so appealing to us

The usual suspects!

Sat scoffing sarnies and listening to the waves

Hard work this Life....

Us but on another day...

The walk southwards proves challenging with plenty ups and downs

and a jungle type terrain...

'Fishes' on the beach

'That plan' being formulated

Bond film lookielikies...

Mears spots a Top Bird...

Our time together leaves us physically & mentally drained as usual having spent six days full on partying, laughing and walking our socks off

We go our seperate ways finally with the knowledge that the next RV will be back at Dethick hopefully in the summer

(did you spot the clue?)

Hasta Luego Ricote

Well it seems we've been here forever!

Our farewells are said to the In Laws as they head northwards slowly to return to Blighty and we just settle down to a familiar routine of walking and soaking up the ever increasing sunshine

We'd heard of this....

Oranges and lemons growing on the same tree!

Nearby Blanca is the walking destination one day

First impression here from afar was this guy was going to jump off...

Back up the steep trail we head for home

Whats the last thing you expect to meet on the mountain trail?

Eeyore!

The walk back down to Ricote never disappoints

So now we say a fond 'Hasta Luego' to Ricote and head on down to the coast for an Easter RV with Chums Messrs Clarke & Elliot

N.B. Whilst we were here at Ricote we had what can only be described as a BIG idea!

A plan is hatched and the next few weeks are spent pursuing said plan. At the time of posting we are still busy working on it so no announcements till its in the bag!

There is a clue to be had however within this post!
