Is that your drone

That’s a much better video Tam... keep it up and coming..

Either that castle was one Cromwell knocked about a bit, or they used salt water in the mortar - I have warned them against that for the last 1,500 years, how many more times must I say it?

 

[Twogirls]

Are you managing to find fresh water to fill up? Looks quite remote where you are.

Drone photos

 

[Offagain]

Loving the latest pictures and videos, keep them coming please!
Some boaty friends spent a few weeks this year around the Peloponnese and said the area where you are now is just stunning. Their land based pictures bear this out and your aerial ones confirm it. We were planning to do the trip this May / June but COVID had other ideas. It's now in the plans for May/June 2021.

The castle shows the difference between Greece and New Zealand!

 

[Drum Major]

Fantastic love it cheers me up on a typical Scottish drench day

 

[Lesanda]

Definitely a frog, as a general rule (but not always) frogs have a smooth skin and toads tend to be more lumpy. Great trip keep it up. When you get around to the west side of the penepolese, visit Nafplio, place much frequented by Lord Byron on his travels.

Inside you need to fit a pull strap at the side that closes in then you slide it along slowly till nearly closed and pull it in from the back

Outside you slide along slowly then push the back in

Very quiet that way

Yes that's exactly what I did to get it to close softly.

Moved very slighty .....about 100 yards along the road so i can have my own space away from noisy sliding doors and screaming kids ....

Found a lovely spot ...door opening out on to the beach ...even got my own bin and fresh water shower ...

 

[Langtoftlad]

Re Woosh Bang doors
I reckon if I'm awake, so should everyone else be .

At least that seems to be the theory at 7am in the middle of the night, as people clatter about chattering away at the top of their voices .

Did you ever find the beasty that used you as prop?

 

[Podney]

They won’t hurt you........................well,I’m not too sure about the bear though! Oh no,I’ve just remembered that when I read We’re Going On A Bear Hunt to my 2 year old grandson today,the bear was actually quite friendly,so that’ll be ok.

And if it isn’t ok,refer said bear to me and I’ll remind him about the book.....that should do it!

You do have the advantage of having those two savage guard dogs to protect you.....................

Never seen it again ... probably dead in the garage somewhere

Probably in some dark corner having babies or mutating into an adult beastie...

That half moon beach looks stunning, did you take a dip ?
How are your batteries holding up with being off grid for so long and not much driving ?

I was in for a paddle but not a swim as it was a bit colder yesterday ....only 19°

Batteries are 100% daily by around 1pm

The howling they do is quite cool ..it actually sounds like humans trying to mimic wolves ...badly

The french kept calling them chakals but not sure if they are or not ....you never see them just hear them from just after sunset till late on at night.

They were really close one night at Elea i was worried letting dogs out as milo is snack sized

 

[Janine]

Just be careful where the doggies go swimming!
