What? There is no temple on Dok-do? Well then, that settles it. "Takeshima" it is. Most remote?

You have reminded me of the adage that says when the road to the temple gets paved, there is no darma to be found there. This is great.

I want cold, hard numbers, though: in terms of kilometres from the nearest town, is it verifiably <b><i>the</b></i> remotest temple? ;) Truth be told, your Kiwi gents' journey was the inspiration for me to get on with my vocabulary list: just bite off a small morsel each day in an ongoing trek to an identifiable goal: Sŭraksan in their case, and getting to the ㅎ's in mine! (They'll likely be finished before I am, though.) Fascinating. I want cold, hard numbers, though: in terms of kilometres from the nearest town, is it verifiably the remotest temple? ;)
