Mother Nature smiles... for the moment

It looks as though, tomorrow, the daytime weather will be warm, but nighttime temps ought to make for comfortable walking. Tomorrow evening, around 6 p.m., I'll train out to Yangpyeong Station and walk 33K to the city of Yeoju. This walk will be an all-nighter, from 8 p.m. until a bit after dawn at my slow pace, and I'll likely rest a lot along the way. I've decided to do this walk instead of the 35K walk from Hanam to Yangpyeong, mainly because I just like the Yangpyeong-Yeoju segment better. The 35K stretch is nice, and both segments have their monotonous moments (all the tunnels from Hanam to Yangpyeong; a 3-5K bit that's not quite along the riverside from Yangpyeong to Yeoju), but the 33K stretch includes two dams, which you don't get anywhere along the Hanam-Yangpyeong route. Warmer weather means I'll have to bring along at least two bottles of water. You know how much I love the Korean summer.

  1. WooHoo! Glad to see you are back at it. That's 4K more than my (unachieved) dream San Narciso to Barretto trek. An all-nighter sounds so challenging...good luck, have fun!
