Vivaio Piano Noce

We've started at 6:30am after a coke and slightly rainy night. To much wind from the wrong direction blow is into the tarp setup.
So we walked down into Scillato and have had breakfast. After town it is a long climb up through different terrain. Step streets, meadows, rocky trail, bush (no markings), forest trail and finally meadows and forest roads. It got colder and colder. Started to rain slightly and hefty wind gusts. Snow leftovers have been up there. It got very good. Especially with the wind. So we reached a bivacco and this one was open. Very simple. Fireplace only outside and no water at all. Dark inside the hut.
After having a break, and drying the tarp etc. I've decided to finish the day and sleep inside. So we've rested. There problem was the temperature. The building was not 100% wind resistant. So it was inside as cold as outside. Even the snow I collected in the afternoon was not melted the next day. So temperatures have been without wind around 0°C.
It was a cold night. It was okay only in the sleeping bag.

No water and no warm place was the reason I decided to walk further. The weather forecast is pretty bad. Much more rain for a few days and cold. But in 1400 to 1600m and freezing temperatures and probably snow is not nice. So better to walk to lower altitudes.

The next days there is no food supply and probably no phone reception often. I will need to save battery and get online rarely.
