Disconect The Phoe Letter

July 2009: the four crossing points Vobbia

The idea of \u200b\u200btrying to climb the four in succession from the town of Vobbia allow exit valley of origin was born by chance.
A friend wanted to try the new bike path and asked us for a nice but not too challenging. The thought immediately went to Val Vobbia from Island County, with the ascent to Crocefieschi and the possibility of an alternative return to Island, where excessive fatigue. Everything went well, with a row down to box and quickly return to Busalla for the train. This is a very pleasant route for a Sgambati training, with the stroke challenging but short climb to Crocefieschi. The traffic to Box is practically zero.
few days later we followed the road from the pass dell'Incisa Vobbia rooms with a beautiful descent through Valbrevenna and return some fraction of the passing away of Sant'Olcese. This second issue was created to compensate for the previous year, a bit 'too easy to point this summer. Curiously, there was also attended by the same friend, now excited by the rise in the quiet roads and green interior. E 'in quest'occasone that the idea to try the other steps, always starting Vobbia.
Passo san Fermo I stormed solo output in the afternoon: beautiful and challenging road to the pass, narrow and bumpy and worthy of very careful descent, which then led me to cross the beautiful valley Borbera until Arquata in an evening atmosphere, soft and warm, really unprecedented in our exits.
Finally coast Salata, already addressed, but going up the other side, in one of the best rounds of Bultrek. In the latter trial the greatest satisfaction, however, was scaled to the Borassi and the following return through Montessori and the hill of the Serra. This is not an air of Cornwall or Scotland as stated in a famous book of ascents of Liguria, but also the sites are simply worthy of admiration.

Is It Wrong To See Your Cousins Boobs

June 19, 2009: Guard from Pegli

Appointment to the Stazione Marittima of Genoa and 10 km of Aurelia to Pegli, then we are on the green valley Varenna. Up to Three Bridges location the urban context still requires special care. The valley runs in the first section is very easily, falsipiani and read through a number of climbs in the old buildings and abandoned mills, unfortunately, some rather unsightly quarries. Fortunately we soon reached a pleasant environment of woods and fields. The road is the location of the trees and pleasantly cool, worthy of note in the summer season now. Entering the town of Ceranesi the climb becomes hard to Lencisa, the pass that leads Polcevera, where you have to stop to admire the beautiful view of the sanctuary of the Guard. Recharge your batteries
we faced the wall of 300 m with peak up to 19% of Lencisa Alto, then pulling the breath in the next stretch leading to the junction with the road for a quick and Sestri Ponente descent. Latest effort to reach the destination station is now a section with a constant slope that leads to the final steep paved.
The panorama from the yard of the sanctuary is very wide ranging and the Ligurian Apennines on the two rivers and the ancient port of Genoa where we started. Geo technical enough to drop down and then nose tured to cover the valley floor to the train station of Bolzaneto.
