9th September: Half way at Vizzavona. Weather set fine now. All going well. Bit of luxury in a Moroccan run hotel before going up to mountain refuges for the next 3 nights.

5th September:Now at Refuge Usciolu after a 6hr day, final 2 hours along the top of a fine ridge. Cloudy today, pleasant walking.

Yesterday foul. Heavy rain England would be proud of, but we battled up granite slabs running with water to cross a ridge and descend to Crocce bergerie. Hoping to see the sun soon.
