Abstract: We consider a continuous time random walk $X$ in random environment on $$ such that its potential can be approximated by the function $V:R^{+}oR$ given by $V(x)=sigW(x)-fracb1-alf{x}^{1-alf}$ where $sigW$ a Brownian motion with diffusion coefficient $sig>0$ and parameters $b$, $alf$ are such that $b>0$ and $0<alf<1/2$. We show that $P$-a.s. (where $P$ is the averaged law) $li{m}_{toinfty}frac{X}_t(C^{\ast }(lnlnt{)}^{-1}lnt{)}^{frac1alf}=1$ with $C^{\ast }=frac2alfbsi{g}^2(1-2alf)$. In fact, we prove that by showing that there is a trap located around $(C^{\ast }(lnlnt{)}^{-1}lnt{)}^{frac1alf}$ (with corrections of smaller order) where the particle typically stays up to time $t$. This is in sharp contrast to what happens in the "pure" Sinai's regime, where the location of this trap is random on the scale $l{n}^{2}t$.
