It's one thing to pull on walking clothes, tie shoelaces and get walking. These last two days of traversing the Madonie Mountains have tested my physical and mental fitness, and rather surprisingly the real challenge for Fred and me has been navigating and following instructions in the walking booklet.
Number 35:
Navigating the 'middle of nowhere', Madonie National Park, Sicily
In the wild, with the absence of landmarks, the paths overgrown with wild fennel, uneven terrain, an outright
crazy terrain, made for some really stressful moments on the 4th day of our hiking.
Here are just some of Fred's photos!

| "Find the tree with a Y-shape..." |
 |
| 'Navigate between brambles, holly, gorse, streams...' |
 |
| 'Take care on the scree slopes...' I say!! |
 |
| 'Find the dead tree, look for the water hole...' |
 |
| 'So Sharon, where to now says Fred'. who knows, lets find a road and call Uber! |
