Upcoming guidebook excerpt: turn off your mind, relax and float downstream. Peonara *** Gr 3. From San Saturnino, follow the track to the Peonara Superior. Head south – easy walking at first, reminiscent of Cheedale, but things soon get more dramatic. Gradually gets more aquatic and, with the gorge deepening and narrowing, and has some long swimming sections. Keep wading, swimming and hiking for a tiring 5 km, until at last a small cairn with red paint appears on the left. This marks the escape path – on the right bank there is a stone wall that is easy to spot and a hermitage that is hidden up the hillside below a huge orange cliff – the Pared de San Martin (About 4h to here). Hike up to the east rim of the gorge, and follow the path to the road. It’s about 3-4 km back to your car, but you might get a lift – how’s your karma?
