Djilili to Glysteri

Hi folks. Spring has sprung and we've been out with our clippers again, this time clearing the valley path from Djilili to the asphalt road near Glysteri beach. It was as veritable jungle, not helped whatsoever by the fact that the guys who made the 'new' calderemi blocked off the valley entrance route. Idiots. Be careful if you're walking your dog if you take the asphalt route beyond Profitis Ilias (Ag Kon) down into the valley as Spiro Kosma has his deers grazing inside the fenced area. He's put 'self-closing' gates now (instead of the high fence which couldn't be passed) but a lose dog would cause problems. I've suggested he put a sign on the two doors telling dog owners to put their pooches on a lead.
Down at the spring, we saw a baby Bittern. It stood stock still and it was a priviledge to observe it.
Also cleared was a small portion of route that cuts off the corner in the Potomi valley. If you're walking to the spring or to Panormos from Skopelos, you will be able to enjoy it. Todate, we haven't quite finished it at the Potami end.
