Hi Paul if you cross at Famagusta, it is called Black Knight, and will take you into the British sovereign base area, I have a friend that live near Protaris and have used the crossing many times, if you go over the mountain at the lowest point just behind us, From Bacheli to the crossing 50 mins,

When I go to Protaris steve will pick us up at the border, Black Knight to Protaris 20 to 25 Mins.

Paul if its any help to you I can give steve a call and get a route card from him, he still in the UK at the MO



Regards

I'll ask one of the guys to pop round the coast on a Gullet, should make it an interesting crossing on the way to Esentepe

Re: Msg 3,



"Whats the name of the crossing @ Famagusta,"



Agios Nikolaos (as it is not TRNC watch out for the sign Άγιος Νικόλαος ).



And the place you are heading is called Protaras (Πρωταράς ), also non-TRNC, so please abstain from singing loudly!
