TIN BOTA, It starts!

Hero is every person really intent
to make this world
A better place for everyone

 

Dear Heroic Friends,

It was harder than expected: Many roads still closed, Many, too many zones, The hardest hit, still inaccessible, And then the lump that rises to the throat to see such destruction, to think of the energies and sacrifices of entire lives wiped out, and how long and sweat it will take to restore them decently …

But at the same time the conviction of the usefulness of initiatives like ours is being strengthened, for at least two main reasons:

  1. The Romagnolo is an incurably social being: even on the most terrible days, He shoveled side by side all day, but then in the evening all together barbecues music and dancing in the middle of the street!
  2. The extent of the cataclysm, the magnitude of the moral and material damage produced, they are unspeakable entities: to get an idea, worth more than a few hours spent in person here than ten reports; And those of the care of the territory and the dangers of intensive exploitation of nature are issues that affect us all …

That said,, We come to the program of our weekend “TIN BOTA – Heroic for Romagna”:

The reference base will be “Bastarda Shop“, in Viale Bologna 277 in Forlì; appointment here both Saturday and Sunday

from 9,00 at 10,00 meeting for the morning tour, dedicated to the Apennines (see below), then return for lunch;

from 14,00 at 15,00 for the afternoon tour, dedicated to the “Low” (see below), then return for aperitif or dinner;

PARTICIPATION AND’ FREE and self-organized; On the routes we accompany you, Everyone takes part in the tours exclusively under their own responsibility; No GPX because they are susceptible to changes during construction, depending on the circumstances.

Flag of the initiative is a dedicated t-shirt, limited edition, that will be yours with a free offer; all proceeds of this initiative - appropriately reported at the end of the event- will go to the Summer Camps of the areas affected by the flood.

Below is the indicative track of the routes:

the morning dedicated to the Apennines, passing by Faenza with its jewel of the historic center largely finished under several meters of water and mud (They're still emptying houses, so we will pass quickly so as not to disturb); from here we will follow the provincial road that goes up the valley of the Marzeno stream towards Modigliana and Tredozio, with many alternating one-way streets caused by landslides and the often dirty road surface. Then we will climb Monte Busca and glide over the Montone valley, che è quello che ha travolto Forlì 🙁

il pomeriggio dedicato alla “Low”, come noi chiamiamo la enorme pianura che si estende a sud della Via Emilia fino al Po; è una pianura alluvionale, ricavata da recenti bonifiche, quindi abituata a un rapporto delicato con l’acqua, praticamente un catino infossato sotto il livello del mare e stretto fra le montagne dell’Appennino e il Mare Adriatico, che a ogni pisciatina rischia di andare sotto … ne percorreremo le strade dritte come fusi che solcano smisurate campagne e quelle arzigogolate che ricamano i fossi e gli argini, e capiremo la natura di questi luoghi, dove arrivando a lambire la povera Conselice, dove la melma si è ritirata solo da pochi giorni, e attraversando Sant’Agata sul Santerno – A town entirely swept away by the fury of the river …
