On a perfectly cloudy day, a large gathering of Strollers cheerfully climbed up along river Kryos Potamos and then round the slopes of Pouziaris. We thank Elena and Eliza who playfully counted 17 wooden bridges assisting hikers crossing the river. Then there was one crossing with a slightly unstable wooden plank, for which we experienced a marvelous display of camaraderie from Martin, who offered more than a helping hand. Compliments to Eleni and Dimitris for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/kapedes-agios-onoufrios-21-april/

P.S. We express our sympathy to Lisa who, having fallen behind and cut off from the group, she stumbled on a stone, fell, and fractured her wrist.

A very large gathering of Strollers, of all ages, from many nationalities, including newcomers, expressed themselves freely, hiking at Madari with a choice of length, and then over lunch. Compliments to Antonis for leading the Grand Circle and to Elena, Petros and Manish for the photos.

The hike from Platania to Doxa si poses challenges owing to the many parts that make it; on 30 March the full sunshine posed one further; yet, the gathering of Strollers, including newcomers, adapted well; some walked more, others walked less; all enjoyed the lunch that followed. Compliments to Nicoletta and Anna for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/madari-watch-tower-moutti-horas-7-april-with-option-for-the-grand-circle/

A massive turnout, people from 10 nationalities, Strollers who participate regularly, members we welcomed back, as well as newcomers, all took the challenge of the two new hikes at the South Slopes of Mahairas in good mood, and enjoyed the rich lunch that followed. Thank you for your trust in your Club. Compliments to Elena, Anna, Franco, Petros and Nicos for the photos.

The hike to Teisia (walls in Greek) on 16 March turned into a cheerful experience for all, for several reasons. We climbed to two summits offering real 360 views, from the bay of Morphou to the Akrotiri salt lake. We welcomed newcomers, among them a very young dynamic hiker! We experienced a marvelous display of solidarity by Petros, who helped Astrid inflate her reserve car tyre following a puncture! And we shared lots of points of view around the topic of Walls, over lunch. Compliments to Gunnar for leading the activity and to Margarita, Anna, Nicoletta and Petros for the photos.

The weather was optimal, turnout great and the flowers of spring in abundance. Yet, despite the attractions all along our path at the dam and lake of Lefkara, the most striking impression was the level of water, around 5 metres below normal, a sad consequence of poor rainfall this winter. Compliments to Antonis for leading the event and to Nicoletta and Luc for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/madari-teisia-circle-16-march/

There is a 200 years old pine tree along the path from Asinou to Agios Theodoros, which hikers marvel at, at every visit, a few minutes before the conclusion of the hike. Not this time. The pine is now entirely dried; a victim of the invasive caterpillar, which we also spotted around? Then there was the stream, traditionally with a flow of water, but this time dry. Besides these injuries, the Club welcomed again a cheerful group of regulars, newcomers and persons returning. Compliments to Antonis for leading the event and to Petros and Anna for the photos.

The hike along Pedieos Gorge on 25 Feb. offered many rewards. The river flow, with its mini waterfalls. Vegetation in abundance, with the sighting of orchids. Mild weather. A stop at Afxentiou’s hideout. The visit to Mahairas monastery. The variety of conversations, epitomized by plenty of humour. Compliments to Victor for steering the activity and to Elena and Anna for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/panagia-asinou-agios-theodoros-2-march/

If you had hiked to Kakokefalos every time this Club conducted the specific activity, you would be bringing to memory an occasion with torrential rain, another under steady rain, one under unbearable sunshine, yet another on snowy terrain. So much so that the climb on 11 Feb. in moderate weather came as a welcome change, even if participants were uncertain as to whether this was a protracted Autumn or an early Spring. Despite the destination’s reputation (and name), there was a very large turnout as well. Compliments to Antonis for his leadership, and to Petros for the photos.

A very large gathering of Strollers, regulars and newcomers, from over 12 nationalities, walked around Cape Greco on 3 Feb. There were several rewards: noteworthy the various shades of blue of the sea, the flowers of narcissus (matsikorido) and what took place inside the green door. Compliments to Nicos for leading the day and to Antonis, Nicoletta and Anna for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/mandra-kampiou-kakokefalos-11-feb/
