Dam Busters
Published 24th of December, 2018
Distant Church
Looking back, I could see a distant church on top of the hill. I have been meaning to visit that since we first came here but have not yet got around to it.
New River
It was a good job I didn't drive down that track. This is how it ended.
Water Close Up
Now, I had taken the shovel out of the boot of the car, but even with that, there was no way we were going to build an effective dam here. There was just too much water flowing.
Tributary
However, a little further downstream we found this feeder stream. We could build a nice dam up here...
Dam Site
This seemed as good a spot as any, but before we got digging, I thought I would have a bit of a look around.

The recent rains are very good for the reservoirs, and they also rejuvenate dried-up riverbeds and streams. So the other day we revisited some old haunts to see what effect the rain had had on them, and perhaps build a dam or two...

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
