This year BKBF will be holding an Autumn hike together with Hamelclub, our Dutch counterpart, at the Seoul Grand Park Zoo. We will meet at 9 am at subway Seoul Grand Park (line 4) exit 2, or directly at 9.20 at the actual entrance of the zoo. There is lots of beautiful walking around the park, so we have found a fun animal-filled route to walk along. However, if you would like to walk around by yourself and meet up with us at a later time, that is fine as well. The park is child-stroller friendly, and you can bring your own or rent strollers at the entrance if you wish to do so.
If you would like to join, RSVP on the Facebook event or on this page if you are not on FB, and we will see you there!
