Nice to have cheering people at the finnish line :)

[@EskoLius]

They had seen me somewhere when driving to the peak. Now they sounded astonished that I had really made it.

[@EskoLius]

Oh, double-duty: a finish and a finnish line

Looks like fun but don't try it in March.

[@EskoLius]

Too cold? Maybe even icy conditions?

[@MENSA.lady2]

@@EskoLius Very much so.

[@EskoLius]

Sounds like you’ve been there, done that ..

@@EskoLius I did a tour of duty in the RAF at Troodos. and often drove from Troodos to Akrotiri and Limassol and back in a Land Rover. That was in 1969. The roads are much better now.
