The weather forecast was discouraging, and proven correct. All the same, all Strollers who had registered were there, well-equipped for rain, enjoyed the hike and the lunch. It’s all a matter of coming up with the right attitude, perhaps. Here is how Natalia put things in writing shortly after: “Many thanks for such a wonderful day. Lovely company, landscape and food.” Compliments to Victor for orchestrating the activity. Compliments also to Anna and Petros for the photos. Missed this one? There are another six activities scheduled for this season. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/pouziaris-troodos-linear-trail-16-nov/

The weather at Selladi Karamanli on 2 November was the answer to our prayer, following a sunny October: moderate temperature and all-cloudy sky. On top, the leaves of deciduous trees all around changing colours, from green to yellow to red to brown, created a natural palette sufficient to lift the spirits of all Strollers. Compliments to Elena for the photos. Missed this one? There are another 7 activities scheduled this season.

The day was absolutely clear, befitting the large gathering of Strollers, regulars and newcomers that hiked on the banks of river Clarios at Agios Nicolaos near Kakopetria. The murmur of water was a worthy reward for all the climbing effort preceded, and the rough terrain. Compliments to Petros and Anna for the photos. Missed this one? There are another 8 activities coming up. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/selladi-karamanli-pezounokremos-circle-and-selladi-polystypos-linear-2-nov/

A pleasant surprise welcomed diners at our restaurant following the hike at Zoumi-Stavroulia on 19 Oct.; live music, with singing, from a duet, which led some of us to the dancing floor! Compliments to Elena, Anna, Mae, Nicos and Petros for the photos. Missed this double pleasure? There are another 9 events coming up.

The experience of the colours of the rainbow in the sky is ordinary. The view of the colours of the rainbow coming from the waterfall at Platres was on 13 Oct. a sight to relish, among all Strollers. Verses from the ‘What a Wonderful World’ song by Louis Armstrong came to our lips: “The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky, are also on the faces, of people going by; I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”, they’re really saying, I love you”. It turned out that on the day this club was polychromatic, in more ways than the usual of hosting many nationalities. Compliments to Gunnar for his leadership and Nicos for the photos. Missed this one? There’s another 10 outings coming up. Join us on 19 Oct, here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/prodromos-zoumi-stavroulia-19-oct/

A group of regular Strollers and newcomers kicked off the 21^st season of activities at Almyrolivado on 5 October, blending smoothly, with high spirits and lots of humour.

The distinctive and inimitable character of The Cyprus Strollers drew a very large gathering of diners in Kakopetria on 2 June, for the Club’s celebration of 10 years of weekly activities in Cyprus society. A highly emotional experience for Xenophon! I express my gratitude to everybody (present were members from all age groups, from a record 15 nationalities and 3 continents) for contributing to create our unique culture of “Hiking made Pleasant”! Compliments to Sonia, Nicoletta, Anna, Maria and Petros for the photos.

The sun had covered the entire sky, not one brushstroke of cloud, and temperatures approaching 30 C, created the frame of our ultimate hike of the Club’s 20^th season on 2 June at Platania. We took a taste of climate deterioration, and adapted by taking frequent short stops at every tree shade. Participating Stollers were marvelous in completing the hike without complaining. Thank you all! Present were members from all age groups, from a record 15 nationalities and 3 continents. Compliments to Nicoletta, Anna, Maria and Petros for the photos.

A wonderful gathering of Strollers hiked, mostly under the clouds, at Atalanti on 25 May and shared a day full of witty and humorous exchanges, in a positive and tolerant mood; just like everyone’s idea of a perfect family. Compliments to Martin for leading the activity, and to Victor, Maria and Anna for the photos. Join us next for the celebration of the Club’s 10 years on the ultimate hike of this season https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/platania-agios-nicolaos-10-years-celebration-2-june/
