Good morning! Hey, morning. So we are really excited today because we're
heading to an island called Saryangdo on the south coast of Korea. Yeah, we're
going there to do this epic ridge hike. It's our third time going there and it
gets better every time. Yeah, it's not a very well-known hike in Korea but in our
opinion it is one of the best hikes you can do in the whole country so we really
want to show you guys it. This is the ridge behind us you can see it on the
horizon there. We're going all the way up, all the way along these
big jagged peaks and it is amazing. I'm so excited. Let's do it!
So, we're playing a game of how many people can you fit on a bus
That was a sweaty bus ride
So we're just heading up the first peak, this one's called Jirisan
Look at this! Straight outta Superman
If kryptonite was shot in black and white, this is what it'd look like
We've reached the first of four peaks, top of Jirisan. The view is absolutely
incredible we literally have a 360 degree view out across all the islands and
everything and it's just a beautiful day. This is the most amazing spot to eat lunch
So we're coming up to the only place on the mountain where you can get some beer,
some makgeolli, some ice cream. Maybe some water?!
Kim tell us how much you're loving that beef jerky. I've, like, pretty much never had beef jerky, this shit's amazin
Ko Chef's Kitchen. I think everyone's happy with the jerky
So we're here at the Moon Rock. Thankfully there is now a railing here
A couple years ago there was no railing. You just had to scramble across it with
a sharp drop on each side. It's a little freaky!
Okay, Kim's about to set off over the Moon Rock. There's someone coming..
She's not about to set off, she's waiting for the person to come across first.
This is a one way rock
I just took a chunk out my wedding ring on the rock
That's where we've come down from. Been a pretty steep descent
So, you've probably seen already why this hike is one of our absolute favourites
it's just... it's so special because the trail itself is incredible, you've got
these amazing mountains and rock formations and kind of like scrambling
over rock sections and you're kind of focused on the mountain and how amazing
it is and then you just look to the side and literally everywhere around you is
just water, islands as far as the eye can see and
it's just... breathtaking it really really is
Whoo!
Third peak. Third peak, one more to go
We're about to hit the staircase down here when you get there, you'll be able to see,
it just disappears off the cliff face you can't see where you're going it's
like a sheer drop. Kim loves it. No, I really don't.
OK, Kim, off you go
go go go go go
Oh my gooood
Where did she go?!
Doing good there Kim
It's very bouncy, this bridge. Eeee!
Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy!
I'm going crazy on this mountain
I've not even started drinking yet
This pace is too slow for him. He usually does seven peaks before breakfast. Yeah!
The hike's almost over
We're heading to Daehang 대 항, you can see it
on the sign. We're going to stay there for the night. If you're just heading back
to get the ferry then you need to go that way to Saryang-meon, eh, Saryang-myeon 사량면
As you can see, Kim is showing you the way... we're going that way
Let's get down off the mountain. BBQ time!!
So we've had an excellent day hiking and now we're staying over in a pension down by
the beach. Uh, it's really nice, it's a beautiful night, it's a full moon.
And we're just barbequing up some nice food here
Dinner is served!
I'm so excited.........oooooo!
Morning. I'm down here at the harbour on Saryangdo. Our pension is right behind
us there and this is the view that we've got from the balcony. It's pretty great.
Breakfast time. And this is our view. How beautiful.
So we're just leaving our pension at Daehang Beach and heading back to the
ferry terminal. We could walk along the road but we heard that there's a new
scenic route that's opened up since our last time here, so we're gonna check that out
I'm feeling a little bit rough this morning. Cam was pouring me full
mugs of red wine last night. The only thing that's keeping me going is the
bottle of makgeolli I just drank. At 10 in the morning. Needs must.
This is such a nice little surprise walk that we've found. I'm really glad that our
pension owner person told us about it. Reminds us of the Queen Charlotte Track
in New Zealand actually. Just looking through the pine forest, down to the
water. It's this incredible blue-green colour today. It's gorgeous.
I can see a little headland with loungers. Wooden loungers
to just chill out on
We have had the most incredible 2 days here on Saryangdo
The hiking has been insanely beautiful with views of the national marine park all around us, and, yeah, we have loved it
