Plans

Yerushalmi

I started today at 32 34 point, and plannd to go to this one afterwards if time permitted. According to Moovit, the best way to do this is take the train straight down to Ramla and a bus from there.

Yerushalmi

For various stupid reasons that were my fault for not checking something obvious, I couldn't take the train straight to Ramla. But this was NBD. I took the train to Modi'in instead, and from there a bus. From there it was an easy ten-minute walk to the point.

The walk was confusing; there were a few places that were simultaneously marked trails and had "no trespassing" signs. I think the signs were simply not turned in the right direction or whatever, and they meant you shouldn't go into the planted fields.

The sun was setting and I got a nice recording of the monastery bells:

From the point I walked back to the bus stop, and bus home to Jerusalem.

I didn't get myself going in the morning but I was in the area that night. I drove over to picnic grove of the Monastery and then wandered the field at night. Yerushalmi is pummelling me this year.

Marked trail: the white-blue-orange stripe on the pole indicates this path is the Israel National Trail that goes the length of the country from north to south.
Trail markings saying to turn left, and a Private Property sign *on top of the trail markings*. The sign presumably refers to the field, not the trail.
