For reaching tirrenic coast from jonic coast we had two ways: following the confortable coast motorway or cutting Peloritani mountains through a road made of stones and mud.
We started from Roccalumera and we went inland, reaching Fiumedinisi. From there we left tarmac and we started climbing towards Monte Scuderi, admiring is top during our way.
After a little break at the "casa degli alpini" abandoned refuge, we entered into the Peloritani ridge-road, on a very difficult stony ground, made harder by the autumn rains. It wasn't easy and despite the low temperatures we literally sweat our's guts on!
As we passed some critical points we run toward Niceto river, which have been brougth us to the tirrenic coast. During the descent we pass through astonishing landscapes, seeing both coasts at the same time.
Once reached Niceto river, we followed its bed for the last stage of our trip before the tarmac. The worst was over but the river bed has many traps; a quick trait can suddenly become a puddle of stones and sand, we have to stay really focused on the track.
As we reached the tarmac we arrived in Torregrotta, right in time for the lunch!
This is roughly our trip: http://goo.gl/maps/8g4Rm
