The three of us got of the bus at HaHistadrut way next to the bridge, crossed it, walked down Sde Nahum park, and through there found our way to a small playground at the edge of the neighborhood. Turns out the hill we saw on Google Street View is a nice little thing on the side the camera showed, but it's other side is steeper and full of bushes and trees that kind of block the way. Not the kind of place you'd like top climb at dark. After making our way through there, and climbing a small wall that we didn't have to climb (after climbing it we saw that there was a way around it nearby), we got to the hash point, that turned out to be a great view point. If your idea of a good view includes a highway junction and an Ikea store.

After taking pictures at the hashpoint, we went down the hill (turns out the climbing through the bushes was also unnecessary, as there was a way around that as well) and decided to make up a new achievement for the game- Time Wrap at the hash, to which you can find proofs [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpTAmgVJhOE&feature=youtu.be/ here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDUv_7RCvmk&feature=youtu.be/ here]. Yep, there an achievement for that now. And I've even learned how to upload Youtube videos for it.

As the trip still felt a little thin, we decided to walk our way all the way back to HaHistadrut (making a wrong turn on the way and lengthening the walk a litlle more), and from there continued a few kilometers more to a nice area we saw on the way to Rishon on the bus, where we got a pretty decent Falafel. And we still manged to catch the bus on the last second (though we did have to run after it for this). Overall, not a bad way to celebrate my 10th geohash.

Location

AT the edge of Rishon LeZion, right next to highway 4.

Participants

Aya

Yael ("Dambi")

Omri

Plans

Dambi leaves her base (she's in the army :[) at 17:00, so her and Aya can catch bus 139 on 18:00 at Kiryat Ono, while I can join them when the bus passes at Or Yehuda, and from there it's only half an hour to Rishon, and a short walk to the hash itself.

Expedition

The three of us got of the bus at HaHistadrut way next to the bridge, crossed it, walked down Sde Nahum park, and through there found our way to a small playground at the edge of the neighborhood. Turns out the hill we saw on Google Street View is a nice little thing on the side the camera showed, but it's other side is steeper and full of bushes and trees that kind of block the way. Not the kind of place you'd like top climb at dark. After making our way through there, and climbing a small wall that we didn't have to climb (after climbing it we saw that there was a way around it nearby), we got to the hash point, that turned out to be a great view point. If your idea of a good view includes a highway junction and an Ikea store.

After taking pictures at the hashpoint, we went down the hill (turns out the climbing through the bushes was also unnecessary, as there was a way around that as well) and decided to make up a new achievement for the game- Time Wrap at the hash, to which you can find proofs here
