This is a link to the Facebook post written by our mayor in which he mentions our work.
it somehow feels that all roads have lead to the implementation of this project and I’m obviously delighted that it’s come to flouision.
The budget was cut by half which means many things in the original study can’t be carried out. For example three years maintenance, renovation of broken cobble, engineering of certain portions of track. But the signs are going up and the metal maps soon will be.
The contractors who are carrying out this work are connected to Terrain editions maps and they have made their own numbering system to tie in with their map. So their trail numbers are not the same as those in the Skopelos Trails guide book. We will be adjusting ours to fit theirs at the next rewrite.
Not every single trail we have reopened is included in the Project but there are enough to keep the visitor occupied and additional trails are on the map. The signed routes are marked on the map in pink.
So what started out some thirty years ago with me with a pair of clippers, clearing vegetarian so I could walk my dog and getting hooked on finding another piece of cobble, has come to this. I couldn’t ask for more.

Fantastic Heather — as you say it’s been a very long haul…. so well done for sticking to it!
We’re seeing the marker posts all over the place, although it’s not always clear where the path actually is! But no doubt this will improve. And of course we can add a few of our favourites when the time is right. Wonderful wild flowers this spring to mark the occasion. Our best wishes, John and Jane

All will be revealed in due course John! There’s a small map on the large Terrain map outlining where all our selected project trails are.

Hi Heather
So so happy on your behalf. I have started out a little bit, and it works perfectly .Waiting for Margit to come. Hopefully we will walk them all.
Can’t believe it should take so many years. Well done Heather. You deserve a medal

Of course it all had a catch in the end. Can’t win. But I have to be thankful it’s all more or less over and I can say my job is done and I can concentrate on my garden.
