Day 86
Aso-san
Distance:36km
A cold ride down into the world's biggest caldera to find toxic gas had closed the main route up the mountain. But the route up to the higher peaks still had the all clear - an hour ride and a 2 hour walk straight up a barren ridge to the summit. Then across to the huge smoking cauldren of Nakadake, the thick smell of sulfur hanging uncomfortably in the air and concrete shelters reminding you this isn't a friendly mountain. Back down in Aso-city now, ready for an onsen.
