Jack provided these pictures taken by Colin Aspinall-5355 Wing of Preston who went over to the Zone Sept 2009 with a few friends for their holidays.Says they were not allowed to take any photographs when they visited the Kasfareet site. The Egyptian police travelled in their coach with them.

Jack obtained this map at a recent Canal Zoners meeting...April 2011
Part 1.... Port Said to Kantara

You will note that the supposed track of the Israelites crosses the Great Bitter Lake from Moses` camp near El Manayif Oasis, crossing from just north of Fayid. to the eastern shore. Jack was told that the lake was called the Reed Sea because of all the reeds at that time....as Michael Caine says - " not many people know that " !!!......Curious that the Km markers cease just north of Deversoir Point.

And part 3....Near Kasfareet to Port Suez |
