The Survivors, renowned for their skills, fitness and dedication to the game train “almost regularly” on Yeoido Island at 2pm  every Sunday; unless there was a game the day before, the weather is bad or the party last night went on too long!!

The practice pitch is next to the river and right beside the Sogang bridge (that's the one with the big orange arc on it).

The easiest way to get there if you don't have wheels is to take the subway; purple line (line #5) to Youinaru Station (station #527) and get out on the riverside exit (#2). You'll be right by the Mapo bridge - the Sogang bridge is the next one over heading west. From the subway, you can take a 3 - 5 minute cab ride along the river to just beyond the Sogang bridge (you can see the pitch on the right - it's got rugby posts and everything), or you can walk/jog for 10 minutes or so...makes for a good warm-up jog before training.

To drive from north of the river, htake the Mapo Bridge and take a right turn immediately at the end of the bridge (i.e. where it arrives on Yeouido). Then take the next right (50-100 meters along) which is a slip road (ramp) down to the road which runs alongside the playing fields and river.   This ramp is marked “Olympic Expressway”, but do not go all the way to the Olympic Expressway! Go along the road next to the playing fields and car park, under Sogang Bridge and the rugby can be found immediately on the right, between the road and the river. The rugby posts are clear. For those of you with GPS or Google Earth, the Lat/Long of the pitch is 37 32' 00.73 N, 126 55' 13 E.
