Journey's End 👣 🇨🇾 The E4 Trail on Cyprus - A Walk Across Europe 10
With gear starting to fall apart I arrive on Cyprus for the last section of my walk across Europe, only to be told the trail "no longer exists". I forge on anyway regardless, exploring the wilderness of the Akamas Peninsula, the Troodos Mountains and the touristy coast around Ayia Napa to finish the 2,567 mile walk at Cape Greco.

    • @AshleyGDean
      @AshleyGDean Před 4 měsíci

      I didn't have any issues in Cyprus. The only place I remember it being illegal is on the Akamas Peninsula, but I may be wrong or the rules could have changed since I was there. I made another video about the trail on Cyprus, if you haven't seen it it's here: czcams.com/video/qhlyQN-08IE/video.html

    Hi Man, love what you're doing, do you recommend the E4 Spain in winter? I would like to make the E4 starting in Budapest and i'll be in Spain in November for 4 months ( the best country to spend the winter in Europe)... Thanks !

    • @AshleyGDean
      @AshleyGDean Před rokem

      Hey thanks for your comment. The Spanish E4 might be ok in winter but the higher mountains will likely have snow and be very cold. Might be worth looking at lower level alternative routes so you have options?

    @NickLivingLife Před rokem

    Happily subscribing to your channel Ashley. Ive had my eye on at least the Crete part of this for a while since I saw an E4 sign on Lassithi. Are there plenty of signs and markings, or do I have to rely a lot on the available maps?

    • @AshleyGDean
      @AshleyGDean Před rokem

      Hi Nick, I think Crete and Cyprus were both fairly well marked, although you would definitely need a good map of some sort (even if it's just OpenStreetMap which has most of the trail mapped). If you do the Cyprus section be aware that the trail still may not be officially supported any more, so marking and access may have changed. Hope this helps

    • @AshleyGDean
      @AshleyGDean Před 2 lety

      Hey, thanks for watching. My memory's a little hazy on that area now but I don't remember water being an issue. I filled up in Litochoro (in my accommodation) and I think there was plenty of water available in the refuge near the top. I think all the stream crossings were by bridge but I'm sure you could get down to the stream easily in places. I can only speak for the Litochoro - Mytikis trail though.

Also ATVs, dirt bikes and jeeps, are not prohibited... Greek and Bulgarian "motorheads" logic: best in the world...

    • @AshleyGDean
      @AshleyGDean Před 2 lety

      Hi mate. It will depend on how many km you want to walk each day. You might want to go for a 1 or 2 week walk to see what works for you. I think on my walk I averaged about 24km per day but it's not uncommon for other people to do a lot more (especially in the USA). It depends not just on your mental and physical stamina but also how much sight seeing you want to do along the way.

    You guys have such cool names. Plus I caught one from a crewmember "Dryerda..." Cant see the rest due to the links to other videos. Fun lark through the locations. I'm sure more are gone now. I think the car park is one of 'em. Only thing..., couldn't you visit whatever is at the location for those cars that took mine tailings and (haha) dumped 'em into the ocean? I vaguely recall it's now some kind of tourist attraction with cars you can ride in.

  • @danielssweetheart9935

    in 2017, I met a a hiker from Bulgaria on the PCT, and he was trying to rise awareness especially among us European hikers, for the fact that the Bulgarian authorities are not giving too much effort to sustain or protect their wildernesses, quite the contrary. Even the EU doesn‘t seem to care about this problem. So enjoy the great outdoors in Bulgaria as long as you can.
