Glori

Went for a walk in the village of Glori, this time the weather was a bit uncertain so didn't walk over the mountain. 

This village as I understand was close to deserted but has gotten a new lease of life after young people moved into it. 

In the medieval times it gained notoriety of having three witches in there and they were taken to Triora where they were burned on the stake(?) by the inquisition after their trials.

However, on this visit I didn't come across any sorcery. The weather a stated was a bit overcast so all pictures as you can see looks to be from a Black Sabbath album cover.

Walking Montalto to Carpasio

Went walking up in the mountains and started early morning as one does not want to get stuck up there after dark, at least if you are not carrying the right gear.

Packed up a water bladder, pocket knife and some extra clothes, such as socks and long armed T-shirt and a warmer skullcap. Was wearing windproof jogging pants, flannel shirt and on top a wind proof jacket. On my feet Meindl hiking boots and woolie socks. Chucked in a few granola bars too.
