The directions to the hash - for the record

 

Papagou (North-East Athens)

Venue: Parking lot on the way to the Monastery of Ag. John the Theologou (Ioannoy Thelogoy) Papagou.
(NOTE: This is not the AH3's traditional starting point used for the Immitos Mountain Challenge run, but is the place we have met several times for Papagou runs.)

Simple hasher version-  

Mesogeion to Kyprou, left or right at the light at the Pentagono--depending on from whence you come, toward the mountain and NOT into the Pentaono. Proceed up Kyproou to a roundabout (the first exit from the roundabout uphill may be blocked by construction barriers) so take the 2nd exit and then make the first right in about 50 meters, just before Verde Cafe, on Leof. Papagou, go straight up the hill and at the signal light make a right onto Anastasiou and continue up the hill through 2 traffic lights toward the mountain. We will be .85 kilometer up the hill, the last right turn before the Odos.

From the Ymmitos Odos, exit Anastasiou, go down the hill a few hundred meters, first road on the left.

Public Transport --- You can take the Metro to Ethniki Amyna and the 413 bus (stop on Kyprou just off Mesogeion) up to Anastasiou, get off and walk about 2/3 kilometer up the hill, or arrange to meet someone at the Metro for a ride up the hill.

We will gather in the gravel lot that is visible from Anastsiou. There may be a HHH sign or 2 on Anastaiou depending on how rough Saturday night is....

After at Avram Taverna. (Cheap eats)
