Expedition went almost without a hitch. There was unfortunately a half-hour wait between my arrival in Nahariya and the first bus to Betzet, so I sat at the bus stop and worked a little. Took the twenty-something bus to the town of Betzet. The bus driver somehow didn't notice that I pressed the Stop button, but when I saw he wasn't slowing down I called out to him and he belatedly realized, stopping about 200 meters past the bus stop. I walked along the highway back to the entrance to Betzet.

Inside Betzet, I took the first right from the main road onto a dirt path leading to a field. After a few steps I had second thoughts - I saw the dirt path was merging with another one a little bit further down the road, and that entrance had a gate. So I turned around, left the field, and headed down to the gate. Yup: Private Property.
 +
 
 +
Well, the point was further to the south than both the first and second entrances, so maybe that bit of it wasn't private property? I headed down to the *third* entrance, which was a paved road that led first to a small home decoration shop and then through an opening in a corrugated metal wall. No private property signs, so I walked through it, but deliberately slowly, hoping someone in the shop would happen to be not serving customers at that moment and I could ask them. No such luck.

Location

Just outside some kind of agricultural building (barn? warehouse?) in the far north of Israel, a town called Betzet.

Participants

Yerushalmi (talk) is interested in taking a train day.

Plans

Yerushalmi (talk): Train day! Get on the Jerusalem-Modi'in train, then switch to the Modi'in-Nahariya train, then take the bus to Betzet (15 minutes).

Expedition

Expedition went almost without a hitch. There was unfortunately a half-hour wait between my arrival in Nahariya and the first bus to Betzet, so I sat at the bus stop and worked a little. Took the twenty-something bus to the town of Betzet. The bus driver somehow didn't notice that I pressed the Stop button, but when I saw he wasn't slowing down I called out to him and he belatedly realized, stopping about 200 meters past the bus stop. I walked along the highway back to the entrance to Betzet.

Inside Betzet, I took the first right from the main road onto a dirt path leading to a field. After a few steps I had second thoughts - I saw the dirt path was merging with another one a little bit further down the road, and that entrance had a gate. So I turned around, left the field, and headed down to the gate. Yup: Private Property.

Well, the point was further to the south than both the first and second entrances, so maybe that bit of it wasn't private property? I headed down to the *third* entrance, which was a paved road that led first to a small home decoration shop and then through an opening in a corrugated metal wall. No private property signs, so I walked through it, but deliberately slowly, hoping someone in the shop would happen to be not serving customers at that moment and I could ask them. No such luck.

Oh well. Kept walking and reached the south side of three large warehouses; according to the map, the point was on the north side. The path between the second and third warehouses was open so I walked north, turned right, and reached the hashpoint with ease.

There was a small mud puddle exactly on the point, so I drew XKCD in it with the tip of my boot.

I had to again wait half an hour for the bus on the way back, so I worked from the bus stop again. Had a gluten-free pita falafel at Falafel Tinami when I got back to Nahariya. Most gluten-free pitas are terrible. This one was excellent.
