Location
In Rabin Park, near a quarry outside of Beit Meir
Participants
Plans
At some convenient point today I'll take a bus to the general area, walk to the point, then walk back to the bus station and bus to Jerusalem.
Expedition
I took the 615/617 from Jerusalem to the bus stop on route 38, crossed 38 on a pedestrian footbridge, and walked into the forest. Using Geohash Droid as my map, I had no trouble navigating which paths I needed to take.
The hashpoint was inside the "elbow" of a path that went from west to east and then hooked to the north. I had to decide whether to go north from the west-east part or go west from the south-north part.
Heading north from the west-east part looked too steep to attempt safely:
So I headed past to the elbow and turned north, saying hi as I passed some loggers who were working there. The descent into the valley from the east was far easier:
I got nervous as I approached the point that it might be in the middle of this impassible clump of trees:
But it turned out to be a few meters away.
Walked back the way I came, took the bus back to Jerusalem. Bosh.
Photos
Sign at the entrance to the forest
It would be a nice view if not for the permanent cloud of dust
I can probably get down here
In the valley
Panorama at the point
I'm glad I didn't try to go down this way
A quarry off in the distance
A footbridge over route 38 with a "Warning: Danger of falling" sign (not the bridge I used, of course)
Proof
The point relative to the two paths. I came in from the west, turned north at the fork, and approached the point from the east
