The Sunday Social Walks are free events for Madrugada Members and their guests. They have been introduced as part of the Madrugada Membership Programme to:
  • Develop a social network
  • Explore and enjoy the Algarve’s beautiful and diverse scenery, culture and heritage
  • Promote a healthy and active lifestyle
  • Raise awareness and support for Madrugada
 

Meeting Details

  • Meeting point – Big Tarmac Carpark behind Marina on Rua Teixeira da Mota
  • Time – meeting from 9.20am, the walk will head out at 9.30am.

 

Walk Details

  • Walk leader – Gilly Grateley, Madrugada member and volunteer
  • Distance – the walk is approx. 6kms long, half on road and track as well as on the boardwalk.
  • Pace – it should take 2 to 2.5 hours to complete, including short stops to take on water and gather the pack.
  • Terrain – this walk is a local one to get back into the swing of things.  We will cover both road and the boardwalk with a small climb around the back of Meia Praia but no significant hills.
  • Essential equipment – drinking water, sunscreen or waterproofs (depending on the weather) and good/appropriate footwear.
  • Recommended equipment for walks in general includes –sunglasses and sunscreen, a hat, insect repellent, layers for warmth, a waterproof coat, spare socks! for some a walking stick is a good idea, especially on walks with sharper climbs or descents.

 

Etiquette

  • The walks are free social meetups, led by a volunteer and those attending will be expected to assume responsibility for their own transport, equipment, health, walking ability, liability, refreshments, guests, dogs etc. – participants will be asked to complete a registration sheet before the walk, which will include a liability waiver.
  • Members are welcome to bring guests for one walk, which we hope will encourage them to sign up for membership and walk with us again.
  • Well behaved dogs are welcome and will be the responsibility of their owner.

We look forward to seeing you, regards, Madrugada AG.
