• 56th Day (Heavy Traffic)
  on Mar 12, 2016
  This could have been our last shvil trip. We had three not overly long days of walking to go and we were travelling five hundred km to Eilat to do two of them. It's insane, isn't it, having to come all the way back sometime soon, just to walk one, la...
• 57th day (One Last Reverse)
  on Mar 12, 2016
  When planning this trip, I looked at the map and saw that whilst we'd only be covering 24 km in these two days of walking, it would have been too hard to do in one day. In fairness, Garry thought we would succeed in getting through the 24 km in one d...
• 54th Day - (Just Do It)
  on Feb 12, 2016
  On our first trip of every walking season over these past few years, I always say how good it is to be back on the shvil. Unfortunately over the last few years, the walking season has been very short, limited to 2 or 4 walking days. So far, we've bee...

• 49th day (The 2 Canyons)
  on Nov 9, 2013
  At four fifteen we rolled out of bed, or more correctly, rolled off our paper thin mattresses, in the aim of getting out by a quarter to five. Yoni was nowhere to be seen.  He claimed that it was preferable to sleep on a mat besides the sulphur...
