Sunday, 20th November – Apparently, weather on Sunday will be favourable for hiking. Is anyone up for a last-minute Sunday walk in Colle Caprile, to soak up the autumn colors of the inland and admire one of those memorable Sori sunsets?
The plan is to meetup at Recco station, catch a bus to Colle Caprile (hopefully we’ll be luckier than in May!) and tread the path along the ridge between Sori and Recco. There will be plenty of colorful woods (perhaps some unpicked chestnuts?), forgotten hamlets like Calcinara and S.Bartolomeo and memorable lookout points, such as the Chapel of Alpines at Case Cornua and the S.Uberto Redeemer monument.
Hike takes around 3h15 and is well described on

How to get to Colle Caprile, and how to come back alive:
On Sunday, November 20th, let’s meet at the entrance of Recco train station at 10:54.
If possible, try to pack lunch, since we’ll only have 20 minutes to catch the connecting bus.
Suggested trains are:
— if you travel eastwards
REG 12353 – 10:11 Genova Piazza Principe (10:20 Genova Brignole) 10:54 Recco
— if you travel westwards
Reg 3261 – 09:50 La Spezia Centrale – 10:51 Recco
— if you travel southwards (*)
Reg 3015 – Milano Lambrate 07:32 (Milano Rogoredo 07:38) Recco 09:49
Return will be from Sori, probably around 17:30.
(*) if you’re coming from afar, you may consider getting the (brand new!) regional weekend pass for 22 euro. For some odd reason, Trenitalia decided to call it Weekend Insieme ( https://www.trenitalia.com/it/treni_regionali/promozioni-regionali/promo-weekend-insieme.html ) but you’re perfectly entitled to travel on your own.
