And now for the photos...

We set off but unfortunately the previous night's rain
has washed-out most of the flour blobs marking the trail.

The front runners charge ahead along the mountain path and can just be seen.

The mountainside is covered in spring flowers and broom bushes

The heavy rain now starts to fall and we hear thunder.

We arrive at the Sanctuary of Dionysos

Mad Dog looks like a drowned rat

Mountain Goat also gets out of the rain

Compare this photo to the previous photo of the Dionysos marble quarry.

The rain pours down

Fiery Twat comes charging by

All the runners are soaked to the skin, so no taverna organised.
