<blockquote><p>Madeira is a sub-tropical Portuguese island in the mid Atlantic Ocean. Every January it hosts a week long walking festival  providing three or more daily guided hikes with various levels of difficulty. The event is the brainchild of writer and photographer Terry Marsh who, this year, had to supervise from a distance as he was recovering from heart surgery. He needn’t have worried; for many of the participants this was their third year and they knew exactly where to go and what to do.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Een veel voorkomende boom op Madeira is de Eucalyptus, zeker aan de zuidzijde van het eiland. Deze boom is eind 18e eeuw ingevoerd om de kaalslag op het eiland tegen te gaan en toch in de behoefte aan hout te voorzien. Het is een snelle groeier en kan wel 5 meter per jaar in lengte toenemen. Ander voordeel van deze houtsoort is dat deze veel olie bevat en daardoor goed brandt. Grote stukken van het Laurisilva waren reeds in as opgegaan en het werd ook steeds lastiger om het hout naar beneden te halen vanaf de steile hellingen. Men had het hout nodig om houtskool van te maken die op haar beurt weer gebruikt werd in de suikerrietindustrie om de ketels mee te stoken. Het hout van deze boom is totaal ongeschikt voor constructie omdat het hout na droging ook gaat splijten en de stam in een spiraalvorm groeit. Dat laatste is ook de reden dat de bast er in lange stroken vanaf valt &#8230;.</p></blockquote>

<p>Angelus: &#8220;<em>I wasn&#8217;t so sure about including it in this perverted guide, because I really don&#8217;t consider it a &#8216;dangerous mountain walk&#8217;, but then some people have sworn me it&#8217;s as dangerous as can be, and the popular demand has been so overwhelming that I decided to write about it. And hey, it is by far the most interesting and most beautiful beach inside Madeira island, so there&#8217;s one good reason for writing about it.</em>&#8221;</p>
