K1.5 Assault Hike 13th October.
This year over 70 Explorers and Scouts successfully completed the
K1.5 hike. The 53rd would like to Thank all who sponsored our
members raising much needed funds. The K1.5 assault hike is a
14kms hike starting from Saittas and finishing at Troodos square.
The hike is a great introduction for new scouts, great practice for older
scouts and Explorers, preparing them for further hikes to come in the
Troodos mountains. This is a sponsored hike in order to raise funds
for the running of the group. It is one of our major fund raisers.
