Hi David, Happy New Year to you too 🥳🎉🥂 hope you had an enjoyable evening / New years day. SO pleased I was able to bring a bit of sunshine and warmth from Madeira to you in the middle of winter!
Love the look of those green valleys, you definitely lucked out by hiking in the morning shade - looks hot! How exciting are the tunnels? Certainly adds a bit of mystery and suspense to the hike, especially when they bring you out to a waterfall like that. I knew that the irrigation channels were next to the paths but didn't know why so thanks for explaining that - it all makes sense now.
Hi Matt, yes, in the summer Madeira can get hot. When we first arrived they were experiencing a heatwave and were well into the 30's which is unusual. I think by the time we did this walk, it had just started to calm down, but whenever we lost the shade, we really felt it. There's one hike (the island's epic hike) that we did and on the return leg of it after we'd stopped filming, the sun and heat got to me badly. The tunnels turned out to be an absolute godsend as I just stopped in one with dripping water for ages to cool down!
Mum, dad and I watched this eating our breakfast in sunny Forster Australia. You’ve gained 2 new subscribers (once they can figure out how to create an account!) A great video, beautiful shots and video throughout!
Haha, I love that 'once they've figured out how to create an account' 🤣 I look forward to welcoming them on board! 🙏 So envious of your summer and warm weather right now. It's overcast here and has been raining on and off all morning!
Nice video we did this walk in November of 2022, can highly recommend the Levada do Moinho, Levada Nova is a bit scary. Just a note and a heads up! PR7 is it the Levada Moinho in Achadas da Cruz you might confuse your viewers and want to change the title.
Last part of my research this trail is great for hiking mountain biking , running. Nova directs public transport can get by bus to centre of ponta do so town , with company rodent . Closet stop seems to be ponta do so - rotunda from which it take you to another 1 hour to reach . Levada in total there are 2500 km on island and many were created even first road . There are several attractions such as Madeira dolphin whale watching, Madeira peaks day tour , run channel hop on hop off tour , sunrise transfere were waterfalls mountains bon voyage best wishes for you your family friends.
We took a Madeira walks book with us and a lot of them were saying how to do the walks via public transport (we'd already booked accommodations which need a car to get to them so this element was a little defunct) but when we began to read things - like your research has shown about an extra hours walk from the bus stop to the Trailhead, we were pleased we had the car.
How are you doing mrs Caroline ihope you have great time . Thank you for sharing your trips with us showing us such magnificent landscapes beauty of nature. As always iam gathering main information about places you visited briefly here it’s Levada center is Russian independent non government polling sociological research organization, named after founder first Russian professor of sociology yurl levada . Meaning of levada irrigation channel or aqueduct specific to Portuguese Atlantic region of mederia . Levada built by farmers ( hereus ) . Consequently held ownership rights assuming responsibilities management and maintenance. Levada nova moinho walk you can explore 405 miles loop trail near ponta do sol Madeira generally considered challenging route takes average of 3 h 44 min to complete.
Hi Kahtoon, I am well thank you, I hope you are too. I didn't realise there was a Russian sociologist with he same last name as the Levada's on Maderia, but I think it's a coincidence as I learnt whilst out there that the name comes from the Portuguese verb 'levar' meaning to carry as it carries water. Interesting to hear your research suggests the trail to be challenging as the fact it was mostly flat left us both feeling like it was lovely and easy! Perhaps its all relative, and in comparison to other flat levadas on the Island, this is more difficult.
