Plans change

I've made a few changes to my itinerary. I think I will stay in Assisi for 4 nights instead of 6 and then go to Perugia for a couple of nights. So I now plan to leave Assisi on Tues 13th March and go to Perugia. From there I will go to San Gimi as planned. I can stay at this hostel which is in the centre of the old town of Perugia and gets good reviews. I might need to buy some warm clothes. I would like to go to Gubbio for the day. There is a cable car which goes up the nearby mountain and apparently it is nice to go walking. I have read about a Gubbio ring walk in a book called Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria.
In the same book and another book I've got - Walking in Italy (Lonely Planet), I've read about a San Gimi circuit walk. I could stay at this B&B overnight about halfway round the circuit..
I've changed my accommodation plans for Montalcino. I now want to go there for 2 nights instead of 1. I sent an e-mail to this B&B. They have a vacancy but they will debit the first nights accommodations costs from my credit card, which I'm not really keen on. So I think i will just 'wing it' and see what is available when I arrive there on Thurs 22nd March. There's a site which lists the affittacamera or rooms to rent so the Tourist Office should be able to direct me to a room. I decided not to stay at the Hotel Giglio as it is a bit above my price range and the room I was offered doesn't have a view.
