Torres Vedras (sort of) to Ferrel
Amazing dawn chorus from the tree filled niche where I spent the night. Burble north through the dwindling folds of the Lisboa geography. Gravel trails and muddy fields with a traverse of the Serra da Achada before crossing into the Windmills and Eucalyptus of lower Leiria. Finish up at the…

Coruche to (near) Torres Vedras
Follow the Rio Sorraia and its associated pretty and shaded canals down towards the Tagus. Birds abound and you might even spot an otter. Cross the river at Vila Franca de Xira before the first climbing of the day into the northern hills of Lisbon district heading towards Torres Vedras.

Monte Redondo to Coruche
Through chunks of pine and cork forest, across the Tagus and east some more. When you decide that you have gone far enough east head south towards Coruche. Secret flamingo lagoon’s and quiet roads await.

Back route to Lagoa is clear
A few fallen trees to contend with and a lot of water damage to the trails but overall mostly clear.

Barragem via South Coast
Many trees down along barragem trail but all passable thanks to some Good Samaritan with a chain saw.

Barragem loop
Trying a full loop post storm season. Crossover to Bolhos at the top of the barragem is flooded and likely to remain so till mid summer.
The plateau track is blocked by tree fall and as Ferrel forest is still closed a road detour needed down to the coast road.…

Miradouro da Pena Seca
A quick hike up from Paço to the Miradouro and return via the interesting cliff notch. Kids would love this one for all the rocky trails and minor scrambling.

Almost a clean run of the Altiplano loop. Sadly the cafe in Reguengo Grande was shut for holidays. Had to settle for Chipicao baby croissants.

Day 2 of trying to create a legal camping loop from Peniche. Coming out of the Nazaré Orbitur you turn onto a sand track which demanded 500m of bike pushing to hook up with a gravel forest track. Technically you could go along the road to avoid the push but its shoulderless and Naz local drivers seem

Peniche to Nazaré in an attempt to create a short legal camping loop that takes in the Aires e Candeeiros and Montejunto. Mostly good dirt tracks through to Nazaré. The campismo is an Oribitur out the back of town which doesnt lend itself to exploring the city on foot and theres a nearby night club which

Oh no. A broken belt and the spare was back at home. Still it happened before I dropped into the Obidos Lagoon valley where i would have needed a pickup. Walked and rolled the bike back home. Chalking this one up to prior too low tension and a earlier muddy trip that threw the belt several times.

A good winter loop that keeps you out of most the mud.
