It's Springtime & the cock eyes the hen....
We are running on white flour today .. that's going to be difficult to see!!
The first falsie and RA Fair Cop gallantly (foolishly?) checks up a steep hill (the mad fool)
Down to the river bed
And then up and out
Panoramic view from the hillside
A broken toilet bowl on the trail
Coke Dealer holds up the hash horn
Through part of the burn-out forest - from the devastating summer forest fires
Derelict buildings associated with the old marble quarrying industry
Up a steep bank
Beside an old marble-crushing plant
(small marble bits left from quarrying were crushed to make marble dust
-which is used to make the plaster for house walls)
Panoramic view from higher-up Pendeli (note the disused marble quarry)
On On
Floral life rises from the ashes (note burnt rock)
Spring flowers
And more
A steep rocky section of the trail
Hash virgin John struggles up
Panoramic view over Melissia and Northern Athens (Notice the locals gathering fresh wild greens - horta- from the hillside)
Floral life competes for every possible spot
A carpet of camomile
