Camping out on Skyros

I could just see the sea

I didnt want to loose my travelling/camping skills. And we have had a few days of great weather.

I worked in the garden for a bit. Then at about 5pm i decided to start packing. This is way too late as i had 40mins riding to do. But i threw my stuff into the bike bags and rode out at about 5.30.

I arrived at Atsitsa at just past six. And filled my bottles here with only a kilometer to go to Atsitsa Beach (so its called on Google but I’m reliably assured it is not)

I set up tent under the pines. I was berated by Kostas the next morning as i could not see the stars, but dew/condensation aversion won. I left the flysheet off the tent just in case there was a few stars visable.

As the sun dipped below the horizon the temperature dropped. I had brought clothes for exactly this occurance.

I fired up the stove and had soup/noodles mix it was as i expected, ok.

Now as the sun disappears and darkness sets in there is very little to do, except huddle up under my sleeping bag read and then fall asleep.

I slept like a log. 😃

The next morning I ambled down to the sea for a dip. It was cold.

Packed my bags up made coffee and breakfast. and rode on out maybe at about 9am

Yes, I forgot my mug and had to drink from the pot.
Sucking stomach in.
Skyros, Chora, looking great in the morning sunshine.

As I got to Escobar for my second coffee. I said how much I enjoyed my excursion. Kostas suggested twice a week. 🤷‍♂️ maybe he is right right.
