Under continuous sunshine, and a high temperature, a large group of Strollers hiked on Cape Aspro on 2 Dec., along the coast, with a resplendent, tempting, calm sea. Compliments to Antonis for leading the activity and to Anna and Eleni for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/mahairas-lazanias-and-fikardou-10-dec/ on a hike starting at 10:00, which is 30 min earlier than originally scheduled.
In adverse weather conditions, perhaps the worst this Club encountered in its 10 years of weekly hiking, a group of Strollers, which included newcomers, succeeded in concluding the hike on the mountains of Mahairas in a wonderful mood. Participants enjoyed the meal that followed in good humour, with lots of smart exchanges. Remarkably and without exception, everybody felt part of an exceptional day that led to a great personal win. Compliments to Eleni, Anna and Nicos for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/pissouri-cape-aspro-2-dec/
Are the Club members sensitive to the plight of people suffering the atrocities of a war getting more merciless by the day? The answer is Yes, as evidenced by the talks that were exchanged during the activity on 18 Nov. Can the Club members enjoy a well-earned day away from the staleness of city life? The answer is also Yes, as proven by our wonderful time over lunch. One approach does not deny the other. Compliments to Antonis for his caring leadership and to Anna, Elena and Petros for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/prophitis-elias-kionia-26-nov/
This Club has a well-established reputation, over its 10 years of life, for offering useful knowledge in small bites, along its hikes. The climb from Platania to Mnimata Piskopon of 12 Nov. was a sparkling example of this distinguishing characteristic: our expert walk leader explained interesting aspects of the area’s geology, as the large gathering was admiring the nearby stratifications. Compliments to Victor for adding this spice, that eased the burden of the climb for all. Compliments also to Elena and Holly for the photos.

Participants were determined to make the most of the opportunity to hike on Troodos on 4 Nov., regardless of length, or weather, and brought their good spirits and humour to the gathering around the lunch table, thereby turning the day into a well – earned break from the weekly routine. Compliments to Elena for the photos. Join us this Sunday at Platania for what promises to be another day of pure fun https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/platania-mnimata-12-nov/ (note start time is 10:30 am).
The forecast of no rain drew a very large participation for the Xylogefyro hike on 29 Oct. Strollers marveled at the landscape, which offered interesting nature views and a flowing stream, and enjoyed rich exchanges over lunch. Compliments to Nicos for leading the day.

There was a very large turnout for the activity at the two waterfalls at Platres on 21 October, and the mood was vibrant. All participants made the most of their time, in the shelter of their favourite Club, in a week that humanitarian values were strongly tarnished, with the bombardment of one hospital and one church. Compliments to Anna for the photos. Join us next here https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/pedoulas-xylogefyro-29-oct/
Humour characterizes the interactions between members of this Club regularly, and sets us apart. The hike of 7 Oct. traversed the northern side of the mountains of Prodromos, and reached a dense forest of majestic black pine, causing the commentary by some members that these trees may be officially named Pinus Nigra, but entirely black they are not; something like the second full moon of August, which even though referred to as blue moon, it is anything but blue, another participant quipped. The day was completed with such sparkle while hiking and also at the table. Compliments to Eleni, Anna and Antonis for the photos.

A very large number of members participated in the 1st hike of Season 19 on Troodos on 1st Oct. There was exuberance all around, both while hiking and especially over lunch; something remarkable, considering the gathering consisted of people of 12 different nationalities, Club regulars and also newcomers. No matter what everyone’s summer was, it felt as if everybody was relieved to be hiking in cool weather. Compliments to Nicos for leading this event. Join us next on 7 Oct. here, paying attention to new times https://cyprus-strollers.org/activities-description/prodromos-zoumi-stavroulia-7-oct/
At last, what seemed to be a never-ending summer of unbearable situations, in Cyprus as well as around the world, is, hopefully, coming to an end. Heatwaves, forest fires, but also floods, wars, environmental disasters, and also an escalating cost of living. Aspects of life turning anyone mad.
In this climate of uncertainty and anxiety, the Cyprus Strollers emerge as a pillar of stability. This Club is entering its 19th consecutive season, promising participants a breath of fresh air, once a week and much more than a hike.
