I joined Minister Y.S. Kim and his friends to go to mountains on June 2nd. There were several occations to climb Mt. Cheonggye with some of retired colleagues of Hyundai Motor but I have never joined them because I see the Cheonggye-san is not attractive enough for me to spend my time but I would rather trail Bukhan-san or Dobong-san which are much more attractive, steep and rugged, and that's not all but closer from where I live. Though it was not as high and steep trail as Bukhansan, my right leg and hip joint unusually distressed me during the whole course.
