BAD ENOUGH

Where once there was a footpath, there is now this bulldozed road, crashing through the area of Kiperisi. It's a tucked away area with a handful of derelict kalivia and a spring, in the heart of the island. The new road leads from the Karia asphalt road, through an area of chestnut trees and finishes at the front door of one of the derelict kalivis. No prizes for what will happen next. It's about tourism and everyone wants a slice of the cake. OK, so it was only a footpath, but the new road has made a huge scar and it COULD just as easily have been a calderimi. There is no control or planning. Mrs Rekkas from the town council has been informed.

AG. IANNI TO MOUTERO NOW OPEN

I'm happy to report that as well as my two volunteers, the council sent along a helper yesterday. He worked with an industrail strimmer which made a huge difference in a short space of time. Just as well, as he wasn't able to stay very long. Anyway, the stretch of trail from Ag. Ianni Skleri to the dirt road near Moutero, is now open. Whilst working, a lone, German walker appeared before me! Made me jump out my skin. So, the path has already been used! Just a bit more tidying up to do on this trail then we move down to the Panagia church at Moutero and work towards the spring in the hamlet itself. There's a wall there that's collapsed which we may be able to repair. All going well, the council will send someone again. More next Monday!

As well as the above, I have agreed to co-operate with Andonis ? who has the first eco accommodation at Karia. He has already cleared paths around his property and would like to put up signs. I suggested we join forces.
I'm making enquiries with Pelion and Kent County Council regarding signs. Contemplating a switch from red to yellow signs. What do you think?
