Hazards

• A lot of the route was on local roads, but the traffic was very light.

Observations

• A beer and the buckwheat pheasant dumplings in the restaurant at the top of the hill was very welcome.
• Mungyeong-eup is an old hot springs town. The Korean spa in town was a treat for tired muscles.
