Hi everyone,
It seems there will be a CAR RALLY in GIRNE today, so they will be closing roads into Kyrenia later this afternoon (Friday 09/10/2015)
Schools will be closing at lunchtime and kids are going home early. Happy Friday!
Or
To put this another way, if you need to pop into the town to grab a few things this afternoon, you will either get stuck and have to stay in the bar till midnight or book into one of the local hotels for the night. "One man's pain, is another man's gain"... ..

Hi Mikek,
Not sure, but shows the roads to be closed from 4:00PM till 11.00PM at night. Start is near the Colony hotel.
As I am aware, from the bypass and all roads into Kyrenia will be closed - I think it will be gridlock by 3:00PM ...

Avoid the town centre at all costs - absolute nightmare. The main car park is closed and lots of areas are cordoned off with red & white tapes. Total chaos and nowhere to park.

The rally drivers should put on a good show as they were out practicing all last night on the streets of Girne.
Rumour has it that the TRNC land speed record was broken during time trials along the Lapta strip at 4am this morning.
Further attempts on the record will be made throughout the weekend....to see this spectacle just look in your rear-view mirror.

Further updates found:
Start is at 18:30 hr - That's about half-past six (tea-time) 6:30PM.
What I think will be interesting tonight, is how the Grid-Lock will develop, mu guess it will back up to Bogaz from the roundabout at the top of the hill into Kyrenia, from the Centre, near to Niyazi's (just before the Rocks hotel turning) will be about a mile ... and from then on, it'll be at a standstill as far as Catalkoy Lemar .... Because no-one has been told. ... ... photos please, it's gonna be a big one!

It started at eight o clock and hubby, who went in to watch, has just phoned to say it has just finished at about nine o clock. He said it was good and he was glad he went in to watch it. Good atmosphere among petrol heads of all nationalities down there.
It wasn't well publicised but thanks to the original poster on this thread for giving the heads up on this event.
