ESRA's Mid-week Hiking Club took a bus full of enthusiastic hikers on a trip to the Adulam Grove area, near Bet Guvrin. The weather was glorious, and we saw many spring-time flowers. We hiked around clumps of Cyclamen, areas of Anemones and Groundsel, and through green fields full of stretches of yellow Mustard.

ESRA has been organising hikes for over 16 years, initially on Saturdays, and more recently Midweek. We have covered many hiking trails all over Israel at varying levels of difficulty, aimed at good walkers who enjoy hiking, discovering new places, hearing about the local history, archaeology, flora and fauna, and enjoy meeting new people in fresh air surroundings.
