eressos sourtoukes walking group, september to november 2013

If you will climb kili, you need to start training a few months before the climb to prepare your body for this demanding activity. So I started hiking around my village, Eressos.
I don't really know how our walking group came about. It just happened. We found ourselves hiking with our sandwiches and mostly with our own dogs, sometimes with other people's dogs.. One can say a lot about Eressos women but their determination is one big plus. Someone suggests a route and we all say OK and ask where we'll meet and what time. We walked about 3 times a week, sometimes after our traditional swim to the rock or we would walk to a beach and swim as a part of our endless sandwich breaks.
The weather has been perfect, allowing us to walk all day long without getting too hot. Chatting, teasing each other, admiring the views, discussing which route to follow, sometimes walking in silence, everyone in their own world, sometimes getting lost and walking back to beginning, meeting for a drink or food after the walk.. this is how we became a walking group: Eressos Sourtoukes walking group.Sourtouki in Greek (and in Turkish) is a woman who never stays at home. This is why I love this name.
This group still walks and will go on walking in years to come. Thanks to Kili, a star is born.
