Post-146: Across South Korea on Foot

9/6/2013

It's as good a time as any to reveal that I plan to hike across South Korea, from south-central to northeast.

It will take seven to eight weeks. I begin on September 16th. I doubt there will be many, if any, updates in those weeks. The trail is called, in Korean, "Baekdu-Daegan". It's sort of a Korean "Appalachian Trail".

Here is a wall map on which I plotted out the approximate course.

Start: In the south [Jiri Mountains].
Planned End: Northeast [near DMZ].
I will post more on this later, I hope. I hardly find time these days. This is an ambitious plan, but with proper planning and sufficient courage, it can be done.

Tomorrow, I visit Chipyongni, a February 1951 battlefield. It's due east of Seoul, but near halfway across the country. It'll take up to three hours to get there by train. It's rural: I'll camp overnight. It'll be a kind of "practice run" for the hike.
