Preparing for JWOC and lightning

Today we started the morning early by packing up all our gear and walking to our new accommodation nearer town. Then it was across the river to catch the bus up to Passo Rollo. This was an experience in itself, up continuous switchback corners in a van and bus.

The area was a section of the long distance map so will be very relevant. Most of the team took a rest day and just walked or jogged the course. It was good to check out the vegetation, rough scattered trees but nice open white forest and a few marshes.

We all dodged the rain and massive lightning storm that surrounded the town tonight in an effort to get to the restaurant for dinner. Lots of tasty pasta and pizza were enjoyed by all.

Ciao
Angela
