I have found that walking is one of the bst ways of experiencing a country you can stop and say hello to people etc. So I decided I would walk from the Green Univerity to Pusan, but first I would walk over Jirisan Mountain to visit the WWOOF farm Jirisan Bioland.
Mon - Unfortunately the monsoon season had started the day before so I had to set off in th rain, as I couldn't be sure it wouldn't rain all day. I Walked down road PO, and another 3Km then a farmer offered ride, I saw road to Inwol, so I walked 3Km then a guy on amotobuke offered me a ride, the villagers told me there was a bus o I waited.. I took bus, walked 2Km someone else gave me a ride to Silansa Temple. It was boring, I happened to decide to leave the back way and met the german teacher girl I had met before. I walked 9Km via PO, I passed a mudang area, but one guy on the path was insistant I turn back (maybe a strange ceremony was happening) , park entrance, arrived 5pm at Baesogol Valley , camp, swim, boring
Tue 7am then lot of rain so a frmer invited me in for breakfast . 10.30 I decided to walk up to see if it would top raining at 12 lunch only 2Km too early to go back, But I hate those signs that lie it wasn't 2km cos after a hard walk 1.30 arrive the shelter. By then knew the park was closed but ut, it was only 6.5 Km over top, and 9Km if I turned back so I marched on to avoid the ranger and continued.. 4.15 arrived can't over th mountain, but at that side it was very misty. can't find the shelter 4.30 eventually found the shelter... Strange style ..no shower, hot water, outdoor kitchen ..big shop
Wednesday cos of the rain decided to walk to the road and walk down it instead of muddy paths
Wednesday- passed lots of raspberrys on the way down
