August 4th 1

Itinerary:  Alpe Cedullo – Indemini – Monte Pola (1742 m) – Monte Lema (1621 m) – Sessa

Distance:  27,5 km
Walking time:  7 hours 40 minutes
Vertical distance:   1320 m uphill;  2220 m downhill

Cloudy and misty most of the day.  Left Alpe Cedullo at 7.30 a.m.  Coffee in Indemini (see Frontier stories no 12, for further information on Indemini).  The last section down, at the end of the day, was very tedious as too flat – one only lost height very slowly, but did too many kilometres!.

Night: stayed in a small flat belonging to Christopher Lockie (a second cousin of mine), in Dumenza (Italy)
