Hello everyone!

This will be our thirteenth event (and our eleventh on Meetup).
So far, we'd estimate that we have cleared up 450L of trash from some of Seoul and South Korea's mountains.
We're also enjoying the outdoors with good company too!

Please see below for the details of our next hike:

When: **Saturday Dec 13**

Start time (approx): **11am**

Mountain: **Cheonggyesan**

Meeting point: **Cheonggyesan Entrance Station 청계산입구역 (ShinBundang Line) Exit 2**

Level: I think this is a suitable hike for everyone. We should be done by 5pm (at the absolute latest. The hike can be done in 3 hours when you are not collecting trash).

There’s no charge for this hike and everyone is welcome!
If you have any questions you can message me directly.

Host: **Tim**
Kakao ID: **tantalus12**

For this meet up event, meetup sets an attendance limit at 10. Pay no attention to the attendance limit or numbers.
You can rsvp, but we would also like all attendees to message the hosts privately on kakao.

To make group organisation and communication easier on the day of the event easier, we want to add you to a Kakao Group chat.

Our Contact Kakao IDs are:

Event Host: tantalus12
Group Organizer: raftjak

You only need to msg the host.
In your message, if you don't already know us, please tell us your Meet Up name.
We will then add you to our own attendance list and the Group Chat.
Once added to the Group Chat, please message the host directly/privately with any questions (so we don't spam the Group Chat).
Group Chat will be used for communication on the day of the event and for sharing photos after the event.

Attendees are under no pressure to do anything they feel is risky. Sometimes trash is tangled up in thorny undergrowth or positioned precariously near relatively steep drops.

We just like you to contribute in whatever way you can - your safety and comfort comes first.

The strategy for the clean up:

\>We will loosely pair up and separate recyclables from general waste as we go\.
\>Please refer to the pictures in this event description for how we deal with each kind of rubbish we encounter\.
\>At the end of the event\, the organiser will carry away all the collected trash and dispose of it appropriately\.

As this event is focused on promoting sustainable mountain activities, we'd encourage you to think about how you provision yourself for the trip.
There is no judgement on the event, but this is a good opportunity to think about what kind of drinks and snacks you bring.
There are takeout coffee places nearby - you can bring a tumbler rather than using their single use takeout cups.
Instead of plastic water bottles, brining tea (hot or iced) in a reusable flask is another good option that overcomes the issue of poor drinkable tap water.

You'll need to bring:
\- Appropriate hiking footwear
\- Your own water and food
\- Any personal medication which you might require

The host will provide:
\- Trash and Recycling Bags
\- Gloves
\- Tongs
\- Hand sanitizer

It is recommended that you:
\- Take out your own travel insurance
\- Bring your own miniature first aid kit \(or blister kit\)

Thanks
Hope to see you on the mountain!
