my cousin has just completed 10 days of walking (from ashdod to wilat i think!) and has more or less another 3 weeks ahead of her. th funny thing is that people go all the way to places such as nepal to trek but not many bother to do it here!

Hello-- I was wondering if you knew of any trekking equipment rental places in Israel. We are planning a trek there but would like to rent the equipment there as apposed to bringing everything on the flight. Thanks for your time, Suza

A new guide and topo maps of the Israel Trail (in English!!) are available. info@eshkol-b.co.il

I have bought the INT guide and have hiked the INT using it. This is a great guide, all the maps are there, all day hike descriptions, you will enjoy it, just like I did :-)

The 2nd edition of the INT guide is available now. Ask at all book stores in Israel.
