Weather: overcast, wind south-east of 11.00 which was added to the rain in a slow but steady increase, starting temperature at 12 degrees.

Meeting at the roundabout at Porto Azzurro at 9:30, then parking the car close to the refuge along the ditch of Spirit, and in the company of Mario, wait for the rest of the company.

Once the group met, we go along the ditch, a few meters we set off on what should be the path 83, opened with hard work from the "usual" Pasquale, will confer an honorary degree!.

Practically a long and steady climb of 1.2 miles, at the time completely free of trail, which bends without too much brings us up to a GTE happy that we leave after a few minutes for the more sheltered and reported Shepherd Trail.

last no longer exposed to the wind, in the undergrowth we reach the cabin of the shepherd.

The site, in addition to the dilapidated construction, is littered with waste, glass, plastic, iron, and even some asbestos sheet!

Thinking of life as a hermit who has sacrificed for this man looking after his sheep do not feel absolutely to criticize him, but now the place deserves a pretty clean!

Let us pause a few minutes when I take this opportunity to take some pictures, a vain attempt given the low light, then continue south, but do little headway since Pasquale offers a break to eat something and pulls out a bowl full of noodles sauce, it makes clear his intentions.

The banquet is consumed in about 20 minutes and then resumed the march, thanks to the excellent view of James, we find the trail wooden kindly someone had torn down, and cast downstream and relocated in its place.

try to speed up the pace, but the long descent on a ground made slippery by rain do not allow it.

reach the car quite wet, but still met with a pleasant walk.
