My partner sprung it on to me do a walk from Funchal to Monte which is straight incline all the way. 1830 feet elevation gain and all the rest of the inclines. A challenge he called it. It was steep a lot of stops and starts, get the heart beating hard. We asked directions and locals thought were mad , we must have been., nobody walks it. Coming back down from Monte which we walked as well it’s very hard on your hips and back, and trying to jump to side of road to avoid toboggan wicker sledges and cars. Glad to see the flat road again, legs wobbly. Mr D got blister on foot, wearing new shoes. Photo of toboggans which we were walking downhill then , very fast they go downhill,
