The course is well run and headed by a prof who is eminent in his field and who has already found strong evidence of a large new site.
We have state of the art equipment which plots the site and finds using satellites, etc etc. It is hard work in the sun but is rewarding.
I volunteered to look after this equipment on the first day. I had a wonderful time with my camera as there was nothing to do except keep out of the sun and make sure the equipment was functioning properly.
The equipment was sited in olive groves north and about 5 kms inland from Pylos. It afforded a fantastic view out to sea and extensive views of the extensive olive groves in the area.
Percy new these groves like the back of his hand as he worked on the family’s groves and used them to evade his hunters. All I could hear were cicadas, an occasional distant tractor and Pilot of the Greek Air Force training overhead. Pure bliss!!
