  1. Today we did some mad steep climbing up into #Montefiascone after losing the #Francigena briefly, I had to push :-( Galileo did not :-), then forest single track into #Bolseno which is super cute :) as we head north from #Rome things are changing for sure, more bikes 👍 more happy people too

    Twice I walked on hikes that had portions of the Francigena and now I am curious to try this hiking trail. It goes from Cantebury to Rome but I don’t think I would do the first half, or if I did I could easily pop home when around Montreux.

    The Francigena is a hiking trail that goes from England to Rome, passing through several European countries, of which Switzerland is one.

    I am tempted by this walk because it’s “local” if I want to stretch my definition of local but also because after seeing images taken from drones, it looks nice. Another thing that appeals to me is that this hike could be quieter than those such as the various Camino routes, and doesn’t require a visa like US Thru-Hikes would.

    The [Swiss section](https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-70) is 195km with 5600m of climbing and 4000m of descent. It starts near Vallorbe and ends at the Col Du St Bernard if you just want to do the Swiss route. Some stages are 19km and others are 26km days.

    ## And Finally

    The more I hike, and see signs, the more curious I become to attempt a variety of hikes over the coming months and years.

  6. Today we hiked along the Appia Antica in Rome, Italy, in collaboration with Decathlon Appio.

    Starting from the main train station and reaching the trail in just 20 minutes, we enjoyed historic monuments and explored a local food market with fresh water from a natural source.

    The 15-kilometer route was challenging but delightful, thanks to a relaxed pace and well-timed breaks!
