Chiavari - Lavagna - Santa Giulia - Monte Capenardo (656 m) - Sant'Anna - Sestri Levante
12.63 km - Elevation gain 720 m - Total walking time 4 hours
Today's the day I set off on my Long Walk!
Well, sort of - it's a bit of a false start since I've come home again this evening. It seemed silly to look for a place to spend the night in Sestri Levante, only ten minutes away on the train... so I organised it as a day hike. Since it's a sunny Sunday I decided to take the panoramic route and invite my friends from the English-speaking hiking group to join me!
Around 25 people met me at the train station in Lavagna and walked the first leg of my Long Walk with me.

After a hike, a refreshing swim followed by cold drinks and snacks with my friends at Luna Blu Beach!
(Not sure this is really what a pilgrimage is supposed to be about... Well, tomorrow morning things will start to get serious!!!)
