Hey! well hope you all managed to get through the massive attack of the blogs! Hope everyones well?
Decided i couldnt miss the opportunity of a few days off together after graduation week at school so went off to Gangwando, the northern most province before you hit north korea to do some hiking 😊
Headed to a few places, to the chiaksan park - afraid not many photos here, the snow storms were unbeliveable, and with no crampons my concentration was on not falling back down the mountain!! holding onto the ropes up the steps as hard as i could!! haha!!
Then headed across to mureung valley to see the frozen waterfalls, and some amazing caves including Hwanseonggul.
afraid the write ups short cos im really tired at the moment!! schools going well but super busy as im now at 3 schools instead of one! so thought you could enjoy some pictures!

look forward to hearing from you!

lots love to all

Cer xxxx

Ice lovely Ice
Great to see more wonderful pics wow what some amazing photos bet the walking was really hard but bet it was all worth it to see all the water falls or should i say ice falls. The caves looked great as well. The path across to the falls not so much a path but a snowy bridge. Unc Pete is so jealous would love to see all the mountains. The lights in the caves were amazing not like Cheader caves in Somerset at all. Well dont work to hard look forward to seeing and hearing from you soon lov us the Morgans.

Ye i was feeling lazy!!
ye im sorry i send my apologies on the lack of information! the frozen waterfalls were incredible, never seen anything like them before, we were so lucky to have seen them, when i showed the pics at school not many koreans had ever seen one either! and ye it was definately dangerous where we walked and i could here Grandad turning in his grave at where we were with little provisions! I am going to invest in some crampons for next time! i promise!!! :) but it was amazing, and the caves were fantastic, we were there really early so no one else around which made it even better! by time we were leaving there were more folks about! anyways my apologies again!!! cer xxx

Art
Well, I can definitely see some artwork coming out of these photos - the patterns are amazng - be lovely to see something on the wall!!! Looks as though it might have been a little scary - you probably needed 4 poles. Have now sent your little camera so want to see some of these salsa sessions!!!! xxxx
