Θέμα μηνύματος: Trek: Soughia-Psilafi-Xiloskalo-Roumeli-Soughia

Hello,

I hope to do a “circular” walk in mid May 2012: Soughia – Koustogherako – Achladha - Psilafi - Strifomadhi -  Linoseli – Xiloskalo – Aghia Roumeli – Soughia.

I have walked parts of this route before: Soughia to Achladha (and return), and Aghia Roumeli to Soughia, each in 1 day. This year I hope to walk for 3 days and camp for 2 nights. I have some questions if anyone can help please.

Is there anywhere suitable to camp for the night on Psilafi, or Strifomadhi or Linoseli or Xiloskalo? I will be carrying a single layer Gore-Tex bivi tent (Terra Nova Saturn) and a sleeping bag with me so I will be reasonably well equipped.

I think the temperature at night around 12 May on Psilafi would be between 1C and 5C and at Xiloskalo between 6C and 10C? This will help me to pick the lightest sleeping bag.

I have not walked the path Achladha - Psilafi - Strifomadhi - Linoseli - Xiloskalo before, are there any difficult parts in this area of the route?

The path Linoseli - Xiloskalo is marked as "well-constructed" on the Anavasi map, so although it looks steep and with sheer drops in places there should be no problems with this part?

Thank You,

John (England)

John, you really need to have a GPS with you on this route. Anavasi has all those paths on their GPS maps.

Hi Stelios,

Final attempt to post a reply…

I use “OruxMaps” (Android download) on my smartphone. It allows you to scan paper maps and GPS position them. It then marks your actual track in real time on the map on your phone (no phone signal required). It can even (using phone data network) upload your track in real time to allow other people to follow your route. A fantastic piece of software which worked really well for me on the Roumeli to Soughia trek last year. GPS plus data really drains the battery though, so this year I am going to try it with a solar charger connected.


John
