141213 The 5th visit on Korea in the year of 2014: The 3rd day, Hiking to Waryongsan(臥龍山와룡산801m), with Bernardo in AhToSan Hiking Club.

Destination: Mt. Waryong, Sacheon, GyongNam Regeon, Korea

Hiking Date: Saturday, Dec. 13, 2014.

Hiking Course: Namyang Reservor – Yongjusa Temple – Saeseom Rock – Mt. Waryong – Baekcheonsa Temple (Parking Lot)

Hiking Colleagues; About 25 including Bernardo from Mexico.

It was snowing in Daejeon, but it was fine at GyongNam Province, though it began to snow after hike in Sacheon.

It snowed heavily previous night. BJ kindly drove me to Nammun Parking Lot where the bus stopped. Marta was with us and we met Bernardo there.

Marta presented Bernardo some small ornament. It is nice of her to give such a present to him. It would be a good memory for Bernardo since he would return to Mexico soon.

There were only one AhToSan member took the bus beside Bernard and I at Nammun Parking Lot. So, I worried about the lack of participants for this hike (it would be short of budget to charter the bus.) But quite a lot of people joined us afterward. When we stopped at Daejeon IC, total number became 25.

We had a special award ceremony on the bus. It was for Bernardo for his 50th attendance for AhToSan regular hike. It is quite a something for a non-Korean man joining this hiking club planned hike for 50 times. (No one beside myself, can achieve such a great number!)

Mt. Waryong locates in Southern Eastern tip of Korean peninsula. So it was warmer than Daejeon. Therefore it was not snowing and no snow on the mountain.

We arrived at the foot of the mountain at around 10:20 a.m. I am not good at upsloe climbing, and I soon became the last hiker among all members.

[Our bus arrived at the destination, バスが目的地に到着、버스가 목적지에 도착]

One of the reasons for the difficulties was I wore too much, esp. under the pants. So, when they were having a “Makgeollii” rest at the first pass, I took my long johns off. After taking off my underwear, I felt much lighter, and I never became the last person.

When we came up to the ridges it was about noon, so I had lunch with the hikers around me. But Bernardo walked fast and ahead of us, so I could not have lunch with him.

[Lunch on the ridge, 稜線にて昼食、능선에서 점심]

But he was waiting for me a little further at the most difficult ridge area. We walked together on the rocky trail, therefore I could take many good pictures.　And soon we had reached at the top of the mountain.

There were two peaks at Waryongsan and there were two stone monuments respectively. I was happy to take pictures with Bernardo and our AhTosan friends.

After this moment, we never separated all the way until the goal. Bernardo and I were in the 2nd group after the fastest group.

Among this second group there was the president of AhToSan this year, Jeongjeong. She told me that they were having a special hike to Hallasan in Jeju island in January, 2015.

[Near the parking lot, 駐車場近くにて、주차장 근처에서]

Hallasan is the highest mountain (1964m) in South Korea and I climbed this mountain with AhToSan people for 3 or 4 times and my first hike to Hallasan was in winter.

[Near the parking lot, 駐車場近くにて、주차장 근처에서]

Anyway, this time, I cannot join them because I already had a plan to attend the 10 day-fasting prayer camp in January 2015. I would join AhToSan hike after the fasting, but not Hallasan, somewhere else in Korean peninsula.

Going down from Waryongsan was not too difficult at all. I arrived at the parking lot with Bernardo at 3 p.m. We killed the time by visiting a pottery shop near the parking lot.

When all hikers arrived at the bus, we moved to a restaurant at the seashore by bus. There we had “After-hike Paty” with local couisine “fish-pot” and “sashimi” course. It cost 15,000 won.

Bernardo brought a bottle of tequila. Its alchohol degree was 25%, rather mild, and tasted good. He gave almost all members, at least a sip, by visiting each table.

The part was over at 5 pm and we returned to Daejeon at 8 p.m. Bernardo and I got off the bus at Government Conpartment, and we went to his hotel and I took a taxi to Hanpit Apartment where Marta and BJ waiting for me.

I always enjoy hiking with AhToSan, and when I have a good friend like Bernardo, I enjoyed the hike most.

この日の天気は、大田は雪。現地は快晴、下山後雪。

マルタとBJアパートを6:45ごろ出たが、昨夜のうちかなり雪が降って、BJの車に積り、出発が遅れた。

甲川(カプチョン)の橋を渡ったとき、アランドロンから電話があり、アトサンのバスが雪のため遅れるというしらせだった。

南門ではベルナルドが一人でバスを待っていた。マルタはベルナルドに故郷ウクライナの土産をプレゼントした。小さな置物なので荷物にはならず良い記念になることだろう。

[At Nammun Parking Lot, 南門駐車場にて、남문 주차장 앞에서]

南門では我々以外に一人しか乗車しなかったので、参加人数を心配したが、南門の後からは結構乗車するものが増え、最終的には25人になった。

途中、インサムランドで朝食のための休憩をとった。ベルナルドはいつものラーメンとバスで配布された丸いパックの飯を食べた。また、食後はコーヒーをテイクアウトした。私は車内で配られたカレトックで十分だった。

車内のセルモニーはベルナルドのアトサン参加50回目の表彰式だった。外国人で50回も参加したのは(私を除けば)彼だけだろう。

登山地は韓半島の南東の端で、大田に比べればずっと暖かく、雪はまったくなかった。

[Our bus arrived at the destination, バスが目的地に到着、버스가 목적지에 도착]

登山地に着いたのは10時過ぎで、土手に少し歩いた先で、集合写真を撮った。

登山路に入り、上り坂にかかると、いつものようにすぐに最後尾になってしまった。これはズボンを二重に穿いていて、暑くてサウナ服のようだったためだ。

最初の峠でマッコリ(막걸리)休憩をしている時に、下のズボンを脱いだらずっと快調になり、それ以降はびりになることはなかった。

尾根に出たころ、ちょうど昼になり、昼食をとったが、ベルナルドは先に行ってしまい、いっしょに食事ができなかったのは残念だった。

[Lunch on the ridge, 稜線にて昼食、능선에서 점심]

しかし、彼は大きな岩がごろごろして歩くのが少し困難な地域で私を待っていてくれて、良い写真がたくさん撮れた。そしてしばらく先に行くと臥龍山の山頂だった。

臥龍山の山頂は２つあり、それぞれに石標があった。私はベルナルドや、アトサンの仲間と認証写真を撮り、あとはベルナルドと離れることはなく、ずっと一緒に、たぶん第2グループとして歩いた。

途中、一時、チョンジョン会長とも話をした。次期会長は百里香(ペンニヒャン)だという。また、来年1月17日～18日に漢拏山（ハンラサン한라산) に行こいう話をしたが、これは私は10日間の断食中だから不可ということがあとで気づいた。

[On the way down from the top,下山路にて、하산로에서]

下山はかなり簡単で、3時にはバスに到着した。このあと、ベルナルドと私は、ほとんどトップグループといっしょでゴールインして、駐車場近くの焼き物屋に入って見学した。
