http://theisraelnationaltrail.blogspot.com/2016/03/resupply.html
The Israel National Trail. From Dan to Eilat: Nov 2015 - Jan 2016. Saturday, 12 March 2016. As with water so with food and fuel. Generally the north and the middle have sufficient resupply options, while the south needs a lot more planning. These are the main places where I bought food. Occasionally there was a cafe or gas station. These are not included, but will be on your map. At least they were all on the maps.me map which comes from OpenStreetMap. Day 0 Tel Aviv. Day 1 (am) Kibbutz Dan. 6 days food,...

The Israel National Trail: March 2016
http://theisraelnationaltrail.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
The Israel National Trail. From Dan to Eilat: Nov 2015 - Jan 2016. Tuesday, 15 March 2016. The Israel National Trail stretches 1000km from Dan in the North to Eilat on the Gulf of Aqaba. It crosses a wide variety of terrain: hills, forest, scrub, fields, towns and above all desert. A little favoured by my status as a rare foreigner walking the entire length of the country. For what it is worth here is a map. Enjoy exploring the Shvil. Those who inspired me to go. Those who helped me prepare. Those who we...

The Israel National Trail: Food
http://theisraelnationaltrail.blogspot.com/2016/03/food.html
The Israel National Trail. From Dan to Eilat: Nov 2015 - Jan 2016. Thursday, 10 March 2016. S one might expect. Israel has fabulous Middle Eastern food. However you are not going to be able to eat fresh food on the trail as much as perhaps you might like. And in Israel food is relatively expensive, although a Pita bread with Felafel and salad can make a cheap and healthy meal. These are possible infrequently in the north and barely at all in the desert. Falafel and salad filled Pita - so good". Hence the...

The Israel National Trail: Climate
http://theisraelnationaltrail.blogspot.com/2016/03/climate_12.html
The Israel National Trail. From Dan to Eilat: Nov 2015 - Jan 2016. Saturday, 12 March 2016. Looking at the weather patterns it is pretty simple to decide that summer is too hot. So that leaves Spring, Autumn and Winter. I chose to start in the first half of November and finished mid way through January. This included several rest days when I stayed with friends. Having chosen my timing it was a complete no-brainer to decide to walk North to South. Also this way saved the best bit for last. Simple theme&#...

The Israel National Trail: Navigation
http://theisraelnationaltrail.blogspot.com/2016/03/navigation.html
The Israel National Trail. From Dan to Eilat: Nov 2015 - Jan 2016. Thursday, 10 March 2016. Generally speaking the trail is well way marked with a triple stripe (orange, blue and white) that one soon becomes good at picking up at a distance, just like the red and white GR flashes in France or the yellow Camino arrow in Spain. The familiar waymark of the INT. So that leaves me with technology and as ever I like to have two means of doing the same thing. And a reliable power source. Like all the files I me...

The Israel National Trail: Hazards
http://theisraelnationaltrail.blogspot.com/2016/03/hazards-and-climate.html
The Israel National Trail. From Dan to Eilat: Nov 2015 - Jan 2016. Saturday, 12 March 2016. You’re going to be out of doors a lot, so of course the weather is a hazard, but in winter it is generally mild and not threatening. You are unlikely to get heat stroke. You might get wet and cold, but are unlikely to freeze. However flash floods are a risk, especially as the rain may fall well upstream of you where it will be less obvious. Other than humans there are no really dangerous animals. The number two ha...
