In May, just as the Sinai was starting to really warm up before summer, with hiking getting difficult, the 1st ever all-international group to attempt the trail finished in St Katherine. The group was organised by Helen Cranston of the UK, who volunteers her time as a supervisor of community projects in the Sinai with the Makhad Trust, and included people from the UK, Ireland and other parts of Europe. All but one of the hikers were women and the group included a hiker in their 70s: the oldest person to complete the trail yet! A big congratulations to the whole group from everybody at the Sinai Trail!
