First step - #E9Project

Hi All, I’m preparing my first section Hike on E9 - European Coastal Path / GR11 - Caminho do Atlântico and my team will share a Geocaching event to someone who wish to join us.

The extension of this section is 47km / 29mi and I pretend to trek this route for two days. Considering this, and the Portuguese laws that unallowed wild camping in all the national territory, I used the beach “Praia Grande” as reference to search for a place to sleep. Around this beach you can find two payed campsites, “Aldeia da Praia” and “Quinta dos 7 Nomes”. We will choose “Aldeia da Praia” since seems closure to the path. The prices and conditions are similar.

We are planning to do this trek during 25 & 26 of May and place the event near from our campsite. This event will be schedule before starting our adventure and all of you are invited to join us even if you don’t pretend to join us in the E9.

I set this route on Wikiloc (here) in case you wish to use as guidance, and hopefully I will be able to set an accurate reference after this journey. You can find my Wikiloc profile somewhere on this page too. This is a costal route, 75% is near to the beach or on the hills and around 50% of the path goes on the Natural Park of Sintra – Cascais. Maybe this natural park is one of the seven natural wonders of the Portugal.

We will walk alone and without interruption to search for geocaches because this is a part of my project to map and calculate the time-consuming and difficulty of all sections of GR11. Since this is a long hike it is important to all of us follow our own rhythm. 

Beware, if you want to follow with us, we will not reserve any extra places in the campsite, you should be covered by your own insurance, and we do not take responsibility if you pretend to hike this section. Don’t forget to follow the national recommendations to hike a trail (available on FCMP) and the natural park rules (available on ICNF).

Hope you enjoyed this post and in that case, kindly comment, subscribe and share.
