We do this walk every time we come to Paros. What photos can't capture is the smell, wonderful....

Abandoned olive grove:

This olive had a trunk a good 6 feet in diameter, just a few years old then

@Giles How many people have done the same walk over the millennia?

[Giles]

A few.....

Thinking about going back to Nepal again this winter to trek the Manaslu circuit. Will be using Bangkok as a hub so will probably spend some time in Thailand as well. My wife has no desire to climb mountains on a holiday and would rather explore Vietnam and Laos. Will probably meet her in Laos for a couple of weeks once we get the logistics and itinerary figured out. Exciting times!

@Denman-John excited to ride along here and happy you’re heading back!

[Denman John]

@SKT Thanks Sean. I haven’t booked my ticket yet as we are still trying to figure out the details. I hoping to be there at the beginning of December and stay for a month. After that, hopefully somewhere warm where I can thaw out and wiggle my toes in the sand.

Quick work trip to Cambridge. Got lost on the way to France and stumbled across this random group of wandering denim heads. Be careful out there folks!

@Arkimeediz , you certainly couldn't have found a better random group of wandering denim heads to stumble across...

It was a joy to have you and Richard here for a couple of days. Thank you for making the trip.....

The last three are the highlights of my terrace view over the last weeks.

@Aetas Looks beautiful and relaxing! Where is this?

[Aetas]

Thanks @Denman-John Located in the Bay of Alcudia- Isle of Majorca- Spain.

Mount Etna

[Denman John]

@Tago-Mago I bet hiking that got your blood pumping. Was the top a good escape from the heat you’ve been dealing with?

[Tago Mago]

@Denman-John it was bliss. Maybe 20°C and blustery wind at roughly 2700m. We were lazy and took the cable car from 1900m to 2500m. The hiking is very different because you are walking on volcanic sand. Not what I normally see in the Alps or lower mountain ranges

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago sacrifice to the volcano gods? If so, I hope they worked

[Giles]

Tomorrow, Dennis and I go to Morocco, the actual border fence with Cueta goes through our village.... Could be interesting....

[goosehd]

@Giles correction…I’ve already started:

[endo]

I know you Brits want back into the EU, but is that really the best path for you, @Giles ?

[goosehd]

I meet up with Giles in Madrid for the final leg…

So technically he’s correct and forget my last post
