Black Stones Route - O Grove Peninsula

An active day out - intermediate hike and optional swim on one of the most deserted beaches in the summer! This 10.2km circular hike around the coast takes 2hours 40minutes, plus a break for up to 2hours about halfway for a swim and lunch on a beach bordered by pine forests. Desnivel only 70m, mostly on natural surfaces and sheltered by trees.

Suggested clothing: Shorts, light clothing and sturdy footwear. Beachwear and towel if you fancy a swim and don't forget sunblock - temperature is likely to be 26C. Bring plenty of water and snacks for lunch. There may be opportunity for a drink in San Vicente at the end.

Start point: Car park near the bus stop at San Vicente do Mar (about 50km from Vigo). Members with cars may go direct to the start point for around 11:00am to start at 11:15am (please state if you are able to offer anyone a lift) OR please state if you need a lift from Vigo. I can do a pickup from Guixar station at 10:00am, first come, first served. Places are limited to a maximum of four per car (€5 toward fuel to the driver)

Important: If you sign up and then can't make it, please cancel no later than 24hours before the event. It is your responsibility to make it to the start point (or arrange with someone to get a lift). We can wait a few minutes at the start if notified of delays, but won't wait for no-shows. Good communication is key to avoid disappointment - I will give my phone number to all who sign up, so that you can WhatsApp me if necessary on the day.
