Day 2 - Cori (26 kms)

A pretty average town, Vetrelli, I quickly made my excuses. Met some ducks at the lake, got lost again (2 days in a row now) and then headed to Cori.

It was one of the highest hill top towns I have been to in Italy and as luck would have it just made it there with 1% on the phone battery. If dead I’d have to find somewhere to charge it, and then call. Plus I use the offline map to find things.  Just a labyrinth of streets and tiny alcoves and quite amazing. Not a tourist spot but some amazing views. First the ducks. 


Then Cori in the morning

Finished the climb from Sonnino to the peak, that was grand. All the hard stuff was yesterday. So I’m at 850 metres (around the height of Galtee Mor) and nice views and all that but I have only one thought really. How do I get down? What is Hitler? Why is Spain?  Some people like descending, I don’t, I hate it, especially over rough ground and with no phone signal. If you fall or slip going up, no big deal usually, but if you fall going down, you can do some serious damage to yourself. Especially with a pack. You really need a stick. And despite lots of trees around all the loose stuff was damp. Anyway I did get down safety but it was no fun. Massive concentration and promises to God etc. I meant it at the time.

That would also be tricky to explain.  I could shrug a lot I suppose. But if I was on the phone. “I think I have found a body. Yes, he looks dead. I think it’s me.”
