Today in the name of exercise and exploring Jerusalem, I walked from Jerusalem to the checkpoint with Bethlehem (checkpoint 300) - about a 1 hour walk from my starting point in Arnona in South Jerusalem. Because I have Israeli citizenship (and other reasons!) I wasn't able to continue into Bethlehem. But those interested in making the journey on foot and who can enter absolutely can do it on foot. It's an interesting walk. After passing Talpiot you pass Ramat Rahel, cross the green line, and then head straight on after the turn off to Gilo on Rosmarin Street. It's another few minutes to the checkpoint just after a hotel. There are beautiful scenic views of olive groves along the way as well as Har Homa (Homat Shmuel). 

(As is evident it got extremely windy about half way through the trip so the audio from the camcorder is problematic in places. This video is actually a mixture of clips I shot on the camcorder and on an Android with a gimbal. I also managed to use wrong white balance setting on the camcorder. You film and learn! )
