Although Gibraltar is such a small place there are plenty of options for walks - city, maritime, historical, - on the flat, or hiking up the Rock.
Anyway, as I've slacked so much for ages, I decided to start a gradual programme of different routes up the Rock. It's always satisfying to charge uphill and see those calf muscles looking sturdy again.
So here are some pix from my walk at the weekend onto the Nature Reserve of the Upper Rock (some taken with the mobile as the camera batteries were playing up).

Looking down into bahia de Algeciras
One of the many rings embedded into the Rock, used for hauling guns up until early C20
A couple of autumnal plants
Information about the Royal Anglian Way
One of many disused batteries (Rooke), sadly fallen into disrepair
Grooming time
And another couple
The lower end of the Royal Anglian Way near Hayne's Cave Battery
A solo monkey sits atop the gateway through Charles V wall
Monkeys wandering round a mirador (viewpoint)
This one clearly has a head for heights
And is obviously bored with having his photo taken
