Ipsos

Packing my stuff up from the hotel in Agios Gordios feeling a little down.

But with travel in prospect then that blue mood should not last too long.

My goal today is Ipsos camping. Put up the tent, dump most of my luggage bags then ride to the highest point in Corfu.

The center of the island is undulating but not too tough. But the climb out of Agios Gordios was tough. The plan came together perfectly. The campsite although closed allowed me in to camp for the night. Tent duely put up and I set off its about 12kms straight up and my Komoot route took me away from the tarmac road snd up some very steep concrete and gravel climbs. The summit completed I had spied some gravel roads going down from the top. They looked perfect but big chunky stones threw the bike around. I descended slowly brakes full on and despite the spectacular views I arrived back at the campsite a bit disappointed.

I went to sleep to the dalset tones of heavy metal and roaring moped/car engines a stark contrast to the quiet of Agios Gordios. What can I do that’s camping, I should have brought ear plugs.

I have no pressure to get to the mainland ferry. So an easy breakfast.
