PURETRAIL MANI ADVENTURE
DAY 4
We went higher than on previous days, up to 950m from our base in Kardamyli at sea level, up to Doubitsa, where the vertiginous limestone trails widen into a little alpinesque plateau.. delightfully located below the towering Profitis Ilias.. Mt.Taygetus.
It was a sharp descent back down to the Vyros Gorge, and then onward to the perfectly pitched Panorama Taverna for a well-earned drink and a bite to eat.. to sustain us back to our resting place in Kardamyli.
What a great day out.. just over 12 miles in total.. almost 4000ft of ascent with the most incredible views of the Messinian Sea, peninsula, and Mt. Taygetus .. 🙂
Home tomorrow.. 😩
But tonight we celebrate the birthday of one of our runners! 🙂🎂 🥂💃🎉
