Akamas Summer Drive

Close-Up Damage

You also get a better view of the fire damage. From here, the trees give the game away, but it won't look like this for long.

I grew up in Ash Vale, in the UK. There, they have a lot of firing ranges, within heathland. Every so often they would have huge fires there, but the countryside would soon bounce back. And at least in the Akamas, the fire fighters don't have to worry about any unexploded ordinance. I remember the fires of 1976 on the ranges. You could hear random ammunition exploding all over the place! I was a young child at the time, and remember it well.

Towards Neo Chorio

Once we had tired of the view, we continued towards Neo Chorio.

Another Angle

We stopped again along the way, and had a look back towards the fire damage. Fortunately it looks like the scars are healing.

Distant Polis

Our final destination was a baker's in Polis.

Pick Your Route

We will end here. I hope you have enjoyed our look at how the Akamas is recovering from the fires. Hopefully your mind has been put at rest.

We have been a bit quiet on the blog front of late. Partly this is due to the lockdown. Partly this is due to all the films we have been doing recently - we only have a certain amount of time on our hands. Partly this is due to a burst water pipe (but that is now fixed!). And partly, it is because we have found a lovely area which we are still investigating, but will generate at least two blogs that will amaze and astound you. I say this to you, the dedicated readers who stick around to the end: you are in for a treat.

The Akamas By Car

Nothing beats exploring the Akamas by car. A decent 4x4 can take you to places you would never normally find on foot, and the aircon can be a real life-saver. Some routes into the Akamas are bumpier than others. In this blog take a relatively bump free route which would suite the more cautious amongst you.

If you have ever driven to the Blue Lagoon via the coastal road, you can be forgiven for not spotting this delightful little church en route.

The Far Side of the Akamas

Last October when I had the weekend to myself, I resolved to do a geocache that had eluded me up until now, due to it's remoteness. Given that people were interested in the Akamas Church blog I posted a while back, I thought I would turn the photos I took into another blog...
