Partiranno day after the Infantry for their journey from Tirreno all\'Adriatico walk,Passenger, Lazio, Marche ,Umbria,travel

Partiranno after Luke and Simon for their appiedato journey that will lead them, after covering 365 km, with their legendary T & D (Tacchi and Suole), Tirreno all’Adriatico. Partiranno from Civitavecchia concerned under the gaze of their mothers, who are still wondering where are wrong, and encouragement of his wife Simone: No, not the make

The programme for this gitarella  provides 17 steps to get to San Benedetto del Tronto, departing from Civitavecchia. The programme, which Luke and Simon have traced and published on google map provides for departure. Thursday, July 24. We start from house Simon, descend until the rail yard of Civitavecchia, touch the sea and depart, leaving us behind the port. We walk on the railroad abandoned Civitavecchia - jihad - Orte. There could accampare in an estate or a station abandoned.

The Infantry are meanwhile experiencing the last days before departure between quotes (Walking is perhaps mitologicamente, the most common gesture, and thus more humane. Roland Barthes) and interviews with regional television and radio, where I listened to them tell their adventure and their greatest fear: the dogs. Meanwhile on their Blog is sondaggia the outcome of their business, and while many people who profetizzano to be abducted by aliens, in my view the biggest danger is that encounter Little Red Riding Hood and decide to stop and spend their holidays at her.
