Monday 7 June Etna

Eastern Sicily is currently dominated by seismic instability. No one knows when next the great forces of nature will unleash their fury, and the brooding presence of the snow capped crucible of fire is an ever present in the background, until it deems the time is right to remind the world of its presence.

But enough about Chloe. Etna is a wonderful backdrop to any mountainbike ride, with lava flow deserts interspersed with beautiful pine forests and meadows. Now, if only the damn trails were signposted properly I might have seen a bit more of it.
