The presence of clouds throughout helped Strollers maintain our high energy, resulting in the conclusion of a long, 14 km hike through fields of green. The rewards were plenty, incl. the spotting of rare ‘black’ anemones. Compliments to Anna, Elena and Petros for the photos.

The level of water at Lefkara dam and lake on 21 Feb. was disappointing; a consequence of yet another year of poor rainfall. Notwithstanding that, a large gathering of Strollers, regulars, persons returning and newcomers had a thoroughly pleasant day, both hiking and dining. We bid goodbye to Anna, returning to Germany. Compliments to Martin for leading the event and to Nicoletta, Stefania and Lydia for the photos.

With the growth of popularity of hiking, one finds it hard to tell one club from another. At the Cyprus Strollers we take pride at values that cannot be copied. Such as good humour, evidenced on 31 Jan. at Mandra Kampiou: check the titles of the photos, for a sample. Compliments to Antonis for leading the hike, and to Anna and Nana for the photos.

A large gathering, with majority young and first-time Strollers, blended nicely on the cultural and romantic walk in Galata and Kakopetria on 25 Jan., and had a feast time over lunch.

All is well when it ends well. Indeed, the overlying clouds, together with the cheerful mood of Strollers made the outing a success, lifting the weight from the Organizers, who struggled midweek to rearrange, after a ban on all Troodos trails.

Through fields of green Xenophon trod

An Ithaca trail, by ancient god

Not for war, or fame’s delight

But Vasilopita, shining bright

Ithaca’s trail, a winding thread

Past olive groves, where dreams are spread

Each stone a story, whispered low

Of journeys past and winds that blow

The air is sweet with baking spice

A promise warm, a taste so nice

Vasilopita, round and grand

A lucky coin to be held in hand

Surely not Xenophon’s winning coin

Plucked mysteriously from his groin

The coin is in the cake, you see

Slice and share, with joy and glee.

Compliments to Martin for this inspired poetic summary of the day! Compliments to Anna for the photos. Best wishes to the 4 winners and to all participants for 2026. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/madari-selladi-karamanli-doxa-si-o-theos-sat-17-jan/

Just 5 days before Christmas a lovely company of Strollers hiked on Kourtellorotsos under optimal conditions and shared cheerful thoughts about dolls of all kinds.
