Mt Portofino and San Fruttuoso, Liguria, Italy

A magic day today in Liguria, so I decided to do one of my favourite
treks, from San Rocco to San Fruttuoso along the cliffs.

My feet are killing me, I'm a bit sunburnt, and I'm utterly exhausted,
but it was well worth it. Not recommended if you suffer from
agoraphobia.

Great photos! Makes me want to haul my overweight arse up that trail
and sweat off a few kilos. How many kms, and elevation gain?

I've been on mountain trails like that - with sheer drops to one side -
with *no* chain to grab for a semblance of security. Seeing that this
trail was relatively well-developed looked almost like the lap of
luxury by comparison.

It's around 15km. It's all hills, and a circuit, so you spend half the
distance going up. And there is a lot of up.

I did it in four hours, and was going fast.

It's a piece of cake from a security point of view. The chains aren't
really necessary, but do help people feel more at ease.

Yes, looks like a nice pleasant strenuous walk, if you want that brown
trouser feeling this is a good walk

but you have to have British food afterwards.
