After being stranded at a closed border in northern Greece for weeks, migrants and refugees are seeking out new, irregular routes to enter Macedonia. They clamber through forests and over hills under the cover of darkness. Up to 70 people were seen crossing into Macedonia from Greece, through a point where there are no razor wire fences erected. It was roughly a four hour walk from the migrant camp in Idomeni.

Others at the campsite were also mulling over whether or not to leave the campsite, and find vulnerable points along the border to cross into the Balkans -- the preferred route to western Europe.

"There is a chance you will get there through the Macedonian route, but the Macedonian military will send you back. Everything is possible," Eyas frin Danascys said.

"My opinion is that I want to go along with this route, which is what everybody is currently doing. There is no other solution," Moutaz from Aleppo said.
