Champagne Hike – Teisia 29 March

Too good to be true? Not for the Cyprus Strollers. There was cheer all around during the hike and lunch on 29 March. On account of the favourable weather, the breath taking 360 views, the splashes of wit and humour, and the champagne (real French champagne) welcome at lunch, an ultra generous offering by Astrid and Gunnar! That’s ‘Hiking made Pleasant’. Thus, with every participant offering their wishes to the newlyweds, everyone went away rejoiced. Compliments to Petros and Anna for the photos.

Ever grateful for our Forests – Agios Onoufrios 23 March

The Food and Agriculture Organisation is celebrating 80 years of existence this year. And it was the International day of Forests on 21 March, themed Forests and Foods. Plenty of food for thought to mark our hike of 23 March in Mahairas forest. Compliments to Nicos for his leadership and to Anna for the photos. You think you’ve seen Teisia? You haven’t seen much, until you will have experienced our hike + lunch activity on 29 March https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/madari-teisia-circle-29-march/

Attitude that matters – Prodromos dam 15 March

A lovely gathering of Strollers flourished on Prodromos on 15 March.

2 Trails, 3 Bridges, 2 Churches, 1 Pond – Agros 9 March

6 m below normal – Lefkara lake 1 March

The weather was optimal, turnout great and the flowers of spring had started their show, with rosemary catching most attention. Yet, despite the attractions all along our path at lake of Lefkara, the most striking impression was the level of water, around 6 metres below normal, a sad consequence of another poor winter rainfall. Compliments to Martin for leading the event and to Petros and Elena for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/scents-of-agros-2-linear-trails-9-march/

Ever popular Kakopetria – 16 Feb.

On a day when the masses descended on Kakopetria (after visiting the snow on Troodos), a large gathering of Strollers, regular members and newcomers combined, took a cultural approach visiting old churches, and then a romantic approach, strolling along the river. Compliments to Katerina and Susana for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/lefkara-dam-sat-1-march/

Maximum pleasure – Mesa Potamos 8 Feb.

Somehow, when the weather forecast spread by mass media has been vague, misleading and alarmist, a person with sound judgement gets maximum pleasure from an activity. Such has been the experience of the large gathering of Strollers, who hiked at Platres on 8 Feb. and enjoyed the reward of lunch. Compliments to Nicos for leading the activity and to Maria, Anna and Petros for the photos.

Pipis hills were alive with the sound of Strollers – 2 Feb.

An impressive, large gathering of regular and newcomer Strollers spread their cheer as we hiked around the hills of Pipis on 2 Feb., under the baton of Angelos, our master conductor.

Attractive nature, Merry attitude – Oh what a wonderful day – Mandra 25 Jan.

The quality of the people who turned up for the hike and lunch on 25 Jan. was evident throughout; marveling at nature, as if it was a first visit, spiritedly climbing a steep hill, and opening up for many witty and humorous exchanges over lunch. Compliments to Antonis for leading the hike, and to Anna and Petros for the photos. Missed this one? Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/pipis-hills-circle-2-feb/

On the trail of Two legends – Petra Romiou 19 Jan.

One ancient legend about beauty, and a second medieval legend about heroics combined to adorn the hike along the coast at Petra tou Romiou on 19 Jan.; adding an element of culture, as it is customary for this club, which delivers Hiking made Pleasant. The high temperatures and sunshine were uncharacteristic for this time of year, adding an element of hardship; so much so that an ice cream at the end of lunch seemed the most appropriate dessert.
