Hilary's Hike - In the footsteps of Moses - 4th - 11th November
Hilary (or more commonly known to us - Cherry) undertook her sponsored fund raising trek organised by Christian Aid on the 4th to 11th November 2006. The challenge began on the first morning with an early stary (2.00 am) to climb Mount Sinai to reach the summit (2265 m) before sunrise. Later that day she started a 45 mile trek through challenging mountainour terrain. The route passed over part of the two year journey taken by Moses and the Israelites over 3000 years ago.
During the trek, accommodation was in the desert and was in the shared Bedouin tents or sleeping under the stars. Cherry's report on the trek can be found in this months Crosstalk magazine available from church.
Further details of the trek will also be given when Cherry gives a short talk (with slides) at the Concert by the Rotherhan Schools Concert band to be held at 7.00 on Friday 8th December 2006 in St Mary's.
