Meeting at the Football
Stadium car park (near the KOPSIDI TAVERNA)
(Car park: 37.965333, 23.773556)
Shoulder Boulder explains
why we are meeting at the taverna car park and not at the advertised location.
(Due to the snow the police have blocked the road up to the Kessariani monastery)
We must walk (or run) up to the bridge to meet the runner's hare Amawanka
Spy Shagger leads us in warm-up exercises
Little Violet joins in too.
The long walk up to the bridge
Shoulder Boulder gathers the stragglers
Runners head up the snowy road
The runner's hare is not at the bridge so the runners continue up towards the Kessariani monastery
Many eucalyptus trees have branches broken off by the snow
On and Up the road
Rear Entry calls the hare
Coke Alone meanwhile poses for a Grandfather photo
After reaching the monastery the runners turn back as they have located the hare
GM Jacket Off confirms on his phone
Back down to meet the hare
OK This is where he said he would be. Where is he?
The hare leads us up a mountain trail
Up and up
Fine views
On up! Jacket Off and Rim Job
A rocky path section
Runners take a short break before heading back down on a different path
The hare Amawanka stops
for a photo.
Earlier he had been scouting different routes but found the way blocked by
deep snow
Amawanka gives Mad Dog a break from taking photos to take him instead
A pause before continuing back down the road
Rim Job pulls up his socks
On-Down
That's a serious snow plough! Just look at those chains on the front wheel.
Almost back to the football stadium car park

(Location changed to the football stadium car park at the last minute - as
the police had blocked off the road due to snow)
Date: Sunday 30 January 2022 – 11am
Run: 2143
Hare: AmAWanker
Venue: Kessariani [also written Kaisariani..]
On
Inn: tba…
MisDirections:
From centre:
Get onto Katechaki avenue and follow the road right and up towards Kessariani. At the top the road bends to the right and you see road signs ‘Kessariani’. Follow these. They take you to the side road on your right. Take this exit.
After 200 meters down this side road, turn left going under the bridge (Alimou-Katechaki highway).
Continue straight - as you enter the road leading up to Ymittos there may be a ‘no entry’ sign. Ignore this, as it only applies when the Mount is shut overnight.
Continue along the road that climbs up into the mountain for 100 meters.
From
North:
From the Attiki Odos get on the Ymittos ring road.
Keep going to the very end. Do not take the exit for Katechaki, but follow the sign for Kareas Ave.
Very soon you will turn off to the right (signposted to Kessariani). Turn off on this slip road right and after 200ms turn left. You will now pass under the Alimou-Katechaki highway. As you enter the road leading up to Ymittos, there may be a ‘no entry’ sign. Ignore this, as it only applies when the Mount is shut overnight.
Continue along the road that climbs up into the mountain for 100 meters.
Coming from the South (e.g. Voula, Glyfada)
Get on the Alimou-Katechaki highway, going towards Messoghion Avenue. Note you cannot turn off to Kessariani direct. So pass the turning on your right for Kareas. Pass the next turning on your left for Vyronas. Pass the next junction, with traffic lights. Get in the left hand lane (while still on Katechaki). At the next traffic lights there is a turning left signposted to Kessariani Monastery. Turn left off Katechaki here. You will come to a T-junction, with a cemetery on your right. Turn right here. This road goes uphill and takes you under the Alimou-Katechaki highway. As you enter the road leading up to Ymittos there may be a ‘no entry’ sign. Ignore this, as it only applies when the Mount is shut overnight.
Continue along the road that climbs up into the mountain for 100 meters.
