Vinca to the Foce di Navola loop

An walk to the enclosing ridge of the valley above Vinca.

Route: From Vinca picking up route 175 switchbacking first within trees and then across the grassy hillside to approach, though not quite reach, the previous day’s saddle. Then along route 37 to a tall dark forest and through it to reach a windy ridge at Foce di Navola (with views into the next valley sadly obscured by clouds). Then an attempt to reach Foce di Vinca stopped by the third or fourth cabled section of path and so back instead on a poorly marked connection to route 38 and then back to Vinca.

Conditions: Dark and windy to start, some rain later, then dry.

Pub: Bar Sport in Monzone for Moretti on draft.
