We headed over to Samozas to see Graham and Liz on her birthday and the usual turn off 20 mins inland from here was rather blocked...ther is a road turning off the the right under those trees and I think there were hundreds of them on the first few hundred meters of the road. The bus shelter seems to have survived although we have seen a fair few just blown to bits by the wind.
The road to Valdovino was quite an adventure I had to drive under a lot of fallen trees on Monday morning but had no camera - they were all sawn off by the time we managed to take pics.

The boys treat it all as a great adventure and enjoyed stacking the timber and playing on the larger rings.
Handy having a go anywere vehicle - over 2 cubic meters of heavy wet timber in there and it hauled it out over mud, tree stumps and holes without blinching and saved hours of wheel barrowing. I have a fair bit of axing to do now but we do have enough timber to see us through next Winter.
