Introducing Aimile

 


We'll soon be on the move! Sponsored by The Black Pig, on Bulgari beach in Syros and others, Aimile will take us to London and back. 

Of course it's a trip to benefit Syros cats and we hope many of you would like to have a little 'flutter' to support us on our journey. 

In exchange for a small donation, we'd like you to guess our mileage and altitude at certain points of the journey. Details and prizes will be published soon. But we don't want to make it too easy, so we'll be posting clues about our possible route, then you can be calculating about your guesses!

For those of you ready to turn to Google maps - beware. We'll be doing it 'My Way'...

More soon. Keep following!

Jacky and Chris

Maybe a ride in Aimile too... Our thanks to the sponsors Syros Cats The Black Pig Astraeus Holidays Katerina Kafetsi at Two Cicadas on the Tamarisk Tree

A long drive...

  Apparently there were wild boar in the hills - but we didn't see any! Aimile gingerly made her way down the mountain and back to the main road and we bore off left heading for the distant hills. We had to traverse the serious mountains indicated by the blank patch on the road atlas. It was steady climbing and the houses and farms were thinning out and reflecting the tough living conditions up at this altitude and distance from civilisation. I made sure we had a full tank of petrol as the stations were getting fewer and farther apart and this was not place to run out. The border, when we reached it, was pretty small.  No questions, we were waved to a bay with a table and ordered to empty the car. we never found out what they thought they were looking for, but poked into everything and their dog sniffed everything and moved on to the next victim.  One remaining hurdle, would Greek customs take us apart. Since Brexit any parcels coming into Greece had been held up and scrutinised an
