**Join us for another circular walk in Monsanto!**

Let's explore the southern section of the park, starting and ending our walk in front of the Ajuda sports complex. The path will lead us around the Pedreira dos Catos and to both the Miradouro do Moinho do Penedo and the Miradouro Keil do Amaral for some nice views over the river. This is a moderate route with a couple of short inclines.

If your schedule allows, feel free to join the group for a well-deserved snack and coffee after the walk!

The group size for this walk is intentionally small to support a comfortable, familiar atmosphere. If you have secured a place but are unable to attend, **please update your RSVP at least 24 hours in advance** so that someone else may walk with us.

If you are running late, please send the guide a personal message and we will do our best to wait for you. Otherwise, we will begin walking at 08:35 latest to respect everyone's time.

**Distance and duration**
This circular route is roughly 5.6 km and should take approximately 90 minutes to complete.

**Meeting / ending point**
We will start walking from the parking lot in front of the **[Complexo Desportivo da Ajuda](https://share.google/eg3Hpn4pzuUYDpcZY)**. You will see a sign for "Monsanto Café" at the entrance to the parking lot.

🚗: There is free street parking nearby, as well as some spaces in front of the university building(s).
🚌: Several bus lines will drop you on the main street in front of the sports complex.

**What to bring:**

* Comfortable walking shoes
* At least 0.5L of water
* Weather-appropriate clothing
* Sunscreen/hat

Out of respect to the group and nature, please be prepared to stow your phone and keep it on silent for the duration of the walk.

**Important notes:**

* The walk will take place even if there is a chance of light rain - bring your poncho!
* If the trails are compromised due to long periods of rain leading up to the date, and/or the forecast calls for lightning or heavy rain, I will cancel the walk before midnight the night before.

All of the Monsanto Morning Walks are, and will always be, free! If you would like to contribute to the costs of running the group on Meetup, feel free to donate whatever feels right for you on any walk you join. All contributions will go directly toward creating more events.

See you in the park!
