Walk location: A linear walk through the countryside from Reguengo Grande to Columbeira, which is a few kms to the south of Óbidos.
Originator: John.
The Walk: We walk to the centre of the town and follow the river Galvão along an attractive, rocky valley (O Vale Cornaga) to Pó, then we follow a track back to Columbeira.
Most of the route is downhill.
Timing: The walk is about 5 km and is expected to take about 2 hrs including positioning of cars, plus extra for coffee.
Car Meeting Point: The lay by at the southern end of Columbeira, just before the road enters the valley, at 10:15. We car share for the few kilometres drive to Reguengo Grande.
If you don’t know the location of the meeting point in Columbeira, I will be at the car park adjacent to the aqueduct car park at the southern end of Óbidos at 10:00 am (on the south side of the roundabout).
We will drive on to Columbeira and leave some cars there as it is the finishing point.
