The
Trail |
The trail was laid clockwise, so we set off from the helicopter pad "H" around the back of the winery - as can be seen.

Checking!
On On through the puddle.
Previous days of rain had made the yellow sand-clay soil very sticky & it built-up on the bottom of the hasher's running shoes.
Most of the trail passed through vineyards

Hash Naming Ceremony |
See Captain Sumo's YouTube video of the naming:

Quote from CU Rob after someone requested heating at the winery due to the unusually cold weather:
"At least one of us wacky American types will likely still need A/C so hopefully they haven’t shut that off for the season"
-----------------------
Mad Dog read the text of the traditional hash
naming ceremony as witnessed by the circle.
And then...
CU Rob had properly declared that he is not worthy.
In the name of Gisbert...

Wine tasting at the Palivos winery |
After showering and checking out from the Semeli Guest House we drove down the mountain
and through New Nemea and on to Ancient Nemea. Here we stopped at the Palivos winery for
further wine tasting and wine purchases. Their wines and particularly the Rose wine are excellent!

Souvlaki Lunch |
This eating and snack place is located almost opposite the archaeological site entrance.
The lady was suprised to receive a large group all wanting food but managed to produce
a souvlaki meal for us with chips and salad + lots of red and white wine, of course.
