Aandycohn replied to the thread Magna Via Francigena - April 2024.Thanks, Nick (yet again) for the heads--ups and the fantastic descriptions. A good walk for us today to Prizzi. Even with the kick-ass ascents, it felt like a piece of cake after the mud into Corleone. Almost a dozen pilgrims tonight at...

ADay 7: Campofranco to Racalmuto — 17km A dawn descent from Campofranco plunges me into the fog for the first time on this cammino. The rocky massifs on my right are almost close enough to touch, but I can barely make them out. Forty-five minutes...

AThe thing that I struggled with a bit on my days 3-5 wasn’t monotony, but what I’ve been calling ‘a lack of connection to the land’. The scenery was pleasant enough but I felt I could have been anywhere and that there wasn’t anything that...

We’re now on the Meseta, Terradillos de los Templarios. Staying at the Jacque de Molay albergue, still very comfortable. Some of the log jams regarding beds have eased, there was a local holiday that complicated matters a bit in Fromista the... -
Aandycohn replied to the thread Magna Via Francigena - April 2024.Sounds great! I'm not at the stage yet where the scenery has become monotonous, but variation is always welcome. These seem like pretty utilitarian towns so far (but interesting to me because they don't pretend otherwise) but I certainly won't...

ADay 6: San Giovanni Gemini to Campofranco — 22km I wake up (unintentionally) at 5:30am and by dawn, 45 minutes later, I’m out the door. The sky is clear in the early morning, there’s an empty path ahead of me, and my spirits are high even though...

Aandycohn replied to the thread Magna Via Francigena - April 2024.Oddly enough, it never rained very hard while we were walking, but locals here in Corleone say it poured the entire night before. But I did notice on the MVF Facebook page that others had previously commented on this section. One person said she...

AOh gosh, what a difference indeed. I remember very small amounts of mud that day but nothing remotely similar to what you described so it must have really poured in the interim. That second day was definitely the ‘wildest’ trail and the one most...

AAccommodation note for @andycohn and anyone else coming after us: in Sutera there seem to be only two places to stay and both were full when I tried my day-before booking today. Fortunately Campofranco is only about 3km further and I was able to...

Aandycohn replied to the thread Magna Via Francigena - April 2024.Continuing from above: For the rest of this section, Nick's suggestions are spot on, and his descriptions can't be matched. Specifically: 1. His means of avoiding the long detour when you first encounter the SS38 is perfect. Saved us, two...
