Day 3
Rishiri Island -> Wakkanai
Distance: 18km (+7.5hrs hiking)
Described variously as a mini Mt Fuji and Dr Evil's Secret Lair, Mt Rishiri is a mountain that begs to be climbed. Leaving late by Japanese standards at 5:30am, the whole climb took more than 7 hours. By the end, I was as tired as I ever remember feeling. The steep bike ride up to the camp site in Wakkanai back on the mainland this evening was a heart breaker.
