110319 Mt. SangHwangBong (645m), Wando, Jeonnam Province 全南・莞島(ワンド완도)の像皇峰(サンファンボン상황봉645m)

Hiking Date: March 19 (Sat) Coudy

Destination (mountain): Mt. SangHwangBong (645m), Wando, Jeonnam Province.

Hiking course: Daeguri – ShimBong – SangHwangBong – BaekUnBong – EopJinBong – SukSuBong – Parking Lot (9 km, 5 hours)

Partner: About 40 Koreans (I was the only foreigner)

Since the 1st Saturday of March, we kept going to the south to find “spring.” This time, again, we went to “Wangdo” island which locates in the south-western tip of the Korean peninsula. It takes more than 4.5 hours to arrive at the starting point.

We left 6:15 at South Gate in Daejeon and arrived at Daeguri at 10:50 a.m. After taking some group pictures, we began hiking at 11 a.m.

It was cloudy, but warm weather. So, I wore only a half-sleave shirt, no jamper necessary at all. I tend to be late while climbing mountain, so I tried hard to be in the top group, but it was difficult.

We came to the ridge after climbing for one hour. We could see the sea well and I found several beautiful flowers on earth.

Yellow flowers were “amur adonis” or “Fukujuso” in Japananese. In Korean, it is just the same Kanji, but Korean pronunciation, “BokSuCho.”

["amur adonis" or "Fukujuso", フクジュソウ(福寿草), 복수초]

Another flowers were called “Olleji” in Korean, and it is “Katakuri” in Japanese. According to Eijiro, it is “Japanese dog’s tooth voiolet” or “fawn lily.” Since it belongs to “lily” family, the latter name is appropriate. Interestingly it is called “豬牙花” in Chinese. It means “Pig’s tooth flower.” Anyway, I like the sound of Korean name, “Olleji.” They are beautiful.

It was “Spring Cloudy” so we could not see the scenes very clearly, yet we could enjoy rocky ridges and viewing the sea during the hike.

We arrived at the first peak of “ShimBong” at 12:30. It took only 15 minutes to reach at the next peak, SangHwangBong, which was the highest peak for today. We had lunch at SangWangBong all together.

I joined KS’s table. They encouraged me to have “chicken feet” and “pig’s feet.” Most of Koreans like these foods, but I thought there were too littlte to eat from these kinds of foods.

[Lunch time, 昼食時間、점심식사 시간]

Chomwa cooked instant ramen with “Naengi” which means spring vegitable in Korea. It tasted very fresh and good.

The top group started for the afternoon hike at 13:15. They were Jeongjeong and Palgapsan, and I started with them, but soon I was left behind by them.

I took several nice shots of portraits of the members at Number One Observatory. Then we went into the woods of evergreen trees and we arrived at the 2nd Observatory.

After the 2nd observatory, we arrived at BaekUnBong at 14:26. The stone mark of the peak of the mountain looked the oldest and the largest among the peaks in Wando.

I arrived at the last peak, “SunSuBong” at 15:15. There were several AhToSan members waiting for latecomers. Among them, “ChinhanSaram” giving cold beer and I got a couple of sips of beer. They tastes so good, I literally felt “taste of haney” indeed.

The downslope from SunSuBong was rather steep, and I began decending with Yoreji and Towa, but soon I became along leaving them behind me.

When I came to the last part of the hike, near the parking lot, I saw Chongjoeng and ChinhanSaram providing “makgeolli” with some food as sidedishes. I sipped one cup of makgeolli and it tasted very good.

I arrived at the bus a bit before 4 p.m. Hongjin and Boram and Chamhwi came back as the last members and it was 4:30 p.m. Then we went to a sashimi restaurant which we came several times before.

We enjoyed Sashimi party with beer and soju, and finally we had “Meuntang” or very spicy soup with fish as the final dish, we left the restaurant at 6 p.m.

We came back to the South Gate Parking Lot at 10:30 p.m.

This was my 17th hike for this year and my 232nd regular hike with AhToSan as the total.

登山月日：2011年3月19日(土)、曇り

登山地：全南・莞島(ワンド완도)の像皇峰(サンファンボン상황봉645m)

登山コース：デグリ(대구리)-シムボン(심봉/쉼봉 598m) -像皇峰(サンファンボン상황봉645m)-白雲峰（ペクウンボン백운봉600m）-オプジンボン(업진봉544m)-宿僧峰(スクスンボン숙수봉461m) -円仏教修練場/青少年修練院-駐車場[9km、5時間]

同行者：アトサン会員約40名(外国人は私だけ)

3月に入ってアトサンは春を求め、3回連続朝鮮半島南端の島の登山。なかでも今回の莞島はさすがに遠い。大田、エクスプ南門を6時15分に出発し、ハイキング出発地点のテグリには10時50分に到着した。

テグリで集合写真を撮影後、すぐに出発。今回は気温が高く、風もないので途中から最後まで半袖シャツ1枚で過ごした。ジャンバーはまったく不要だった。

いつも登りで遅れるので、今回は遅れないように先頭Gについていこうとしたが、中間がやっとだ。バスの出発時間に遅れたホンジンがポラムと共に中間の中のトップを快調に歩いた。

一時間ほどで見晴らしの良い稜線に出た。すると黄色いやや大きめの花１輪に気が付いた。花の写真をたくさん撮影した「流水(ルス)」によれば、この花は福寿草だという。

["amur adonis" or "Fukujuso", フクジュソウ(福寿草), 복수초]

この後、韓国の山でよくみかけるカタクリ(韓国名：オルレジ얼레지)の小群落を登山路のあちこちで見かけた。この花の学名はErythronium japonicumで英名にはKatakuriとなっているが、韓国の山で頻繁に見ることができる。

英辞郎の和英では“Japanese dog’s tooth violet”とか“fawn lily”となっていたが、中国語では「豬牙花」と「猪の歯の花」というのは面白い。(中国語では『牙』は『歯』を意味する。)私は韓国語の「オルレジ」の語感が気に入っている。いずれにせよ美しい花だ。小さな春を見つけたという感じがした。

天候は曇りで春霞と呼べばいいか霞がかかって展望がいまいちだったのが惜しい。

最初の峰、シムボンには12時半に到着。シムボンから像皇峰まではほんの15分ほど。莞島の最高峰・像皇峰で昼食をとった。

昼食はKSの敷物(トッチャリ)で食べた。KSは鶏の足のからあげをくれたがチョッパリ(豚足)同様、あまり食べる所がない。チョムワが煮た、春の野草、ネンイ(냉이)の入ったラーメンがうまかった。

[Lunch time, 昼食時間、점심식사 시간]

昼食後の出発は13:15で、先頭Ｇの七甲山とチョンジョンと最初の10分ほど同行したが、すぐに離された。

第一展望台でボラムが珍しく私のカメラに収まった。この後、南の島の雰囲気がいっぱいの比較的喬木の常緑樹の林を抜けて林道をまたいで第二展望台へ。

白雲峰に着いたのは14:26。ここの石標はかなり大きな自然石で今回の峰々のなかでは一番古くて立派だった。

最後の峰である宿僧峰には15:15に到着。ここではチンハンサラムが冷たいビールを振る舞っていた。私も2杯もらったが実にうまかった。

[A cup of cold beer tasted very good! 冷えた一杯のビールは最高の味！차게 한 맥주　한잔은 최고!]

宿僧峰からの下りはやや急で、ヨレジやトワと下りはじめたが、途中で彼女らを置いて、一人で先に降りた。目的地近くには椿の群落があった。

[A camellia flower,椿の花、동백꽃]

チンハンサラムとチョンジョンが駐車場の見覚えのある店でマッコリを購入して下りてくる会員に振る舞っていた。私も1杯ごちそうになった。

バスについたのは4時少し前。ホンジンとポラムやチャメが最後にバスに戻り4時半には駐車場を出発。

以前2回使ったことのある港のそばの刺身屋の2階で豪華なティップリをたっぷり1時間ほど楽しんだ。(今回、この刺身パーティの会費1万5000ウォンは別料金だった。)

ティップリの場では前に座ったフンニャ(흠냐)と話をした。彼はチョンジョンの職場の後輩のようだ。彼は私がベルナルドやクリスにくらべ寂しそうにみえると言う。

[With "Heungnya", フンニャと私、흠냐와 함께]

刺身レストランを6時に出発し、南門には4時間半後の10時半ごろ到着した。

今年17回目の登山でアトサンのレギュラー登山はトータルで232回目。
