Participants: Alessia , Massimo, Maurizio and Max
Route: Ring of 10.5 miles through the trails Patresi: 14, 3 and 27.
8.30 am, meeting at the parking Carpani, we wait a bit 'for any stragglers and then we just had confirmation that we're leaving for Patresi, where we arrived after about 45 minutes.
begin the march at 9.23 and notwithstanding the unpleasant weather, the weather is just beautiful, sunny, no wind and a perfect temperature!
's face slowly climbing the path 14, which I honestly thought I find in the best conditions.
addition to the reduced signage is especially the vegetation to obstruct the path several times. Rich
fact the presence of fallen trees and shrubs along the path and new plants and bumpy in many places, thanks to the boar, complete the work.
still managed to navigate our way.
Alessia does not have any particular problem in the ascent to the contrary is more exhausting for Mauritius, inactivity but also a very sore back will force him often working with little support, ... "and was just back pain" think reading ... these lines.
Among some talk, sweet strawberry trees and a few sips of sweetened condensed milk that I grant to my daughter at times of "crisis" we reach the path 3 (of the Cross) which are 11.45. Ten more
minutes and take advantage of one of the tables of chestnut for a bite to eat after having made fresh and filled the water bottles of good water source. Alessia
candidly asked me if we have arrived at their destination, "we're only halfway through the" I reply, "but now it's all downhill!"
The pleasant lunch stop will last about 30 minutes.
We continue the march to 12.25, but after a few meters Alessia charge a pain in the heel, then stop again to look at her foot and apply a patch to prevent formation of the bladder.
The patch works wonders, and so, thanks to steady descent, our pace increases significantly.
13.10 that's almost vertical reach the trail of 27, I concede another sip of milk to my daughter and we take down the steep slowly.
To be honest, a bit 'slow we only Maurice and I, the other two are pretty business, but you will, so' young and should be left running. ... The beautiful chestnut
accompany us for a long stretch of running three times and crossed the river we see the houses in the small town of Patresi, where we expect the van, are 14.23.
Alessia collapse on the return trip to Portoferraio, and I hope the left is a nice memory of this pleasant walk.
