VId.14    Section Rogliano - Martelleto   57 km

Early in the morning I went to the station to buy my ticket. The first part to Soveria Mannelli is serviced by a small bus. The road had so many turns and was rather narrow. As the sun was shining all the time it was nice and comfortable in the bus. In Soveria Mannelli I had some waiting time before the tour continued this time in a regular sized bus. One of the bus drivers showed me the way to a local supermarket where I bought my lunch. While I had been almost on my own in the small bus it now became much more crowded. Many asylum seekers where travelling with me. Toward the end of my ride we traveled in the clowds. I left the bus in Tiriolo to continue hiking along SI. Being in the clowds it was rather cool. Following a short break in a bar I started walking. The trail was downhill and soon I was back in the sun. Down in the valley the trail / road follows more or less a motorway and I arrived at Martelletto. Being at only 100m elevation it was very hot again. At a bar I got a room at a B&B. I was the only guest and could pick a room. Following a very refreshing shower I could do some laundry which dried soon in the sunny wind.

Signals are set by hand at the station in Rogliano
