Taking the Cablecar to Monte Faito and hiking down to Positano

I'm guessing a lot of people don't even know about the cablecar that connects Castellamare di Stabia with Monte Faito at the top of Monte Sant'Angelo.Italian name is 'Funevia del Monte Faito- Castellamare.
It has recently been repaired and restored so we decided to go try it out!

From Positano we caught the bus to Meta (it ended up not going there so we got off at Piano di Sorrento) and the Circumvesuviana to Castellamare.
The cablecar departs from the train station so it was all very easy.

We had big plans to admire the amazing view....we failed big time as we passed most of the day up in the clouds!
The hike back down was not so easy, all in all we walked 24kms!
We followed signposts (in order)to :
Santuario di San Michele
Molare
Conocchio which was the very top of the mountain.

From there we followed the red and white stripes painted on random rocks. The pathway was very precarious, all the railings were broken or gone and it was all broken rubble and rocks.
We headed down towards the Caserma Forestale above Positano; from here we could have walked straight down to Montepertuso, but instead we went right, to Santa Maria Di Castello and walked back down from there.
It took all day.
And then it poured!
