בפרק של הפודקאסט The Trail Show שיצא הערב, הם מראיינים את Chris "Wolverine" Hillier על ההליכה שלו בשביל ישראל באביב 2017. אני חושב שהוא בהחלט אומר דברים חיוביים על השביל, ואולי זה ישכנע עוד כמה מטיילים מחו"ל לבוא ולנסות אותו.

הנה הלינק הישיר לפרק. אפשר למצוא את הפודקאסט הזה גם ב Google Play Music, ב iTunes ובאפליקציות/אתרי פודקאסטים אחרים.

העתק של פנייה לכמה משרדי ממשלה שמטייל מהולנד שלח בעידודי היום:

Dear Sir / Madam, 

On December 30 I started with my daughter in Eilat with the Israel National Trail (INT). Right from the start we were seized by the fantastic desert landscape. We have walked nearly 180 km in six days time and all the while the astonishment remained about the beauty of the environment. However, soon there came, unfortunately, an other astonishment ...... the waste that other 'nature lovers' had left behind. The INT is well marked, but that official marking is sometimes not necessary because you can also follow the trail of waste. On the way we even saw ibex that ate from the left behind.
I write to you from my own involvement and at the request of a number of Israeli parties involved in the INT in the hope that you will pay attention to this from your responsibility for education and nature conservation. Please help to keep the desert as beautiful as it is!!

About myself: I live in the Netherlands and work for a teacher training in the city of Nijmegen. 

I highly appreciate to receive a response to my writing. 

With kind regards and sincerely, Gerald Steverink
