Location

In the forest west of Shoresh, Israel.

Participants

Yosef (talk)

Plans

Take the first bus westward and get off near Shoresh.

Expedition

The weather ended up being warm and rainy. It was pretty nice.

I took the 185 from the Jerusalem city entrance to Neve Ilan, northeast of the hashpoint. From there someone guided me through his house to a trail that led to the tunnel underneath Highway One to the correct side of the highway. I walked around the village of Shoresh until I arrived at a trail. I followed Google Maps down the trail until I reached the closest point on the trail to the hashpoint before I would need to start bushwhacking.

Surprisingly bushwhacking was a lot harder than I thought. When I saw it was on a slope I tried to walk down below the slope so that I could attack at the unknown while walking up rather than walking down. There were small 1.5 meter terraces to climb and the foliage was thick enough that I had to crawl at some points. The GPS wasn't so quality so I had to do a lot of dancing, of course also on slopes and terraces. The hashpoint ended up being in a pleasant and I was able to get a screen shot and a selfie by the time my battery died.

I climbed back to the trail and then walked back to highway the way I came. Right before the entrance to the highway there was a gas station with plenty of drivers. I found someone who was going to Jerusalem and easily hitched back.
