another pic, which a lot of regulars will recognise, the road up from Lefkoyia where the water runs uphill....................
Chris,

I think your brain has become addled with raki young man!!! There are a couple of roads in the UK where there is the same optical illusion. You're too young to remember, but in the 1970s Nationwide (BBC current affairs programme) featured it. As Scotty said in Star Trek, "you canna change the laws of physics".

Nice to see Mrs Harribobs has enrolled- keep you under control.

i tell you it's the strangest thing to see, you know the road is going up hill yet the water is running up as well

ever time I'm there i have to stand and look at it, throw twigs in and watch them float up the hill  

it's one of the highlights of the walk to Shinaria  

wierd!!!

Chris,

There is a stretch of the A1(M) near where I live and whichever way you go along it you would swear you were going uphill. Something to do with the lie of the surrounding land apparently.

By the way, have you just booked your September holiday with Olympic? I always thought they got completely booked up for the coming season by Christmas.

yep booked thru olympic, i can check availability if anyone wants although i didn't bother when i booked mine, just checked now and there's plenty of rooms left (9 i reckon)

i booked my May holiday in March, and they still had rooms then ( about six left i think)
