REM sang Shiny Happy People in 1991. On 25 Oct at Spilia the sun was shining throughout. Yet a happy gathering of Strollers did not let that bother us, and conversations made the day sparkling and memorable. That’s the calibre of the people we attract. Compliments to Victor for leading the activity and to Georgia and Maria for sharing their photos.

The party of Strollers at Prodromos on 17 Oct. gathered lots of rewards, on one of the most beautiful hikes in Cyprus. Among them, the experience of 3 seasons in one day. We set off under heavy fog; which cleared to allow the clouds to protect us for most of the path; until the sun dominated in the latter part and over lunch. What impressed us the most, all the same, was the sighting of a family of mouflons, even though they moved so fast as to escape the camera. Compliments to Ria, Elena, Maria, Petros and Nicos for the photos. Missed this pleasure? There are another 9 events coming up.

Strollers, regular and newcomers, had a lovely day out at Almyrolivado (name literally translates to salty meadow) on Sunday 11 October. A stream, a mini waterfall and a pond proved popular, while the giant Juniper was favourite. The meal that followed was a wonderful reward. Compliments to Nicos for leading the day and to Stefania for the photos. Missed this one? There’s another 10 outings coming up. Join us on 17 Oct, here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/prodromos-zoumi-stavroulia-sat-17-oct/
We needed to hike patiently for 1200 hours, over 12 years, until we were gifted with the very rare spectacle of the rainbow lying low in a precipice. Not the usual rainbow high in the sky. The chase ends with this majestic reward. Compliments to Elena, Nicos and Petros for the photos. Enjoy the photographic orgy and don’t beat yourself if you weren’t there. You can join us next here and be party to our coming episodes of fun https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/persephone-extended-11-oct/
It was an astonishingly rewarding end to Season 24, with a large gathering and importantly participants from all age groups at Artemis on 7 June. Befittingly, conversations were cheerful and lunch a great treat. Many thanks to ALL. Compliments to Anna, Elena and Petros for the photos. Best wishes for a smooth summer. We meet again week one of October.

The hike of 17 May, at Platys, was a marvelous experience, viewed on several grounds: for the landscape, in a thick forest along the banks of a river; for the dry weather, under the canopy of the trees; for the lively singing of the birds, a consolation for the failure of the ‘Jalla’ and ‘Ferto’ songs at the Eurovision contest; for the calibre of participants and the joyful conversations. Compliments to Martin for co-leading the activity and to Elena and Petros for the photos. Join us next on 30 May here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/troodos-atalanti-circle-sat-30-may/ and don’t miss the Season finale on 7 June https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/artemis-reclining-trees-2-trails-sunday-7-june/
Kryos Potamos had a larger than usual flow on 9 May, and Strollers were assisting one another in crossing it at several points. Which brought out the best in everyone, while hiking and then over the delicious meal. Compliments to Martin for briskly leading the activity and to Petros and Elena for the photos. Join us on Sunday 17 May here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/platys-valley-linear-sat-9-may/
All participants brought something to this party at Pedoulas, which was moved a day earlier, to avoid a heavy downpour. All in good mood, with positive attitude. All successfully crossed the several streams as needed. All enjoyed the meal that completed the day. Thank you all! Compliments to Maria, Elena and Petros for the photos.
