A reasonable easy day wrapped up a pretty epic circumnavigation of a sub tropical island off the south coast of the Republic of Korea. For the detailed readers amongst us, west is to the bottom of the map. We used a combination of foot, bus and one taxi in the making of the route above,…

Jeju Olle…Days and days of rays
The past five days we have been bathed in sunshine (and 90% humidity) as we push up the west coast of the island and make the turn east to our finishing point. The west coast has appeared to be significantly less populated than the other parts of the island, and the beaches by far the…
