Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Near Binasco
Leave Milan to the south and within twenty minutes the city gives way to rice. The Parco Agricolo Sud Milano protects a wide belt of farmland around the city, and between Binasco, Zibido San Giacomo and Noviglio the fields are flooded each spring, turning the plain into a vast mirror of sky, laced with canals and lines of poplars. The locals call it the chequered sea.

4. Back to Val Trebbia
Crema is the town to know here, a walled little city of about thirty thousand people on the Serio river, a short hop east of Milan's commuter sprawl and quite unlike it. The stop sits just outside, among fields and villages such as Capergnanica and Bagnolo Cremasco, in flat Lombard farmland where the horizon is a line of poplars and the Alps show only on very clear winter days.
