After many months of being busy at work (starting at a new place). This is my lost counted attempt to write a blog on my weekend adventure. It was a good weekend hike. I manage to shoot many pictures and try different technique. The plus point was my sifu Yap was ever glad to part with his photography knowledge to me. The climb was short and simple. It was a good break from fishing and just enjoying the morning air.
We started the hike at 6am. It was raining like mad from 1.30am. So the terrain was expected to wet and soggy. The Petronas station where we gathered before the hike was packed mad by the group organise by Peter with about 30 hikers. Some of these guys i've met and some were new faces. We exchange jokes and say our hello and we proceeded to drive to the plantation where we would park our car and start the hike.
Honestly, i didn't know what to expect as i am a virgin on this mountain despite it being so near the city. Some season guys who been here told me, 'its a piece of cake' 45 minutes tops to the peak. We trekked through a plantation for about 10 minutes before we reached the base of the hill for the climb. Needless to say, it was a walk in the park for me. Good warm up after being out of action from hiking for almost a few months. The last serious hike I had was Gunung Datuk. Took me about 40 minutes to the peak. This hill has 3 peaks. The view from these peaks are pretty much the same as they are actually on the same ridge line. We hanged around the peak 2 and decided not to head to peak 3 due to the heavy traffic. I was glad as I caught with many old climbing buddies and was busy having snack and drinks with them.
The scenery was beautiful with the fogs on the background. Some people was complaining that we can't see the sunrise due to the overcast weather. I beg to differ. Different weather gives different lighting background thus create different scenery. In my next post i'll attach some photos i've taken with the overcast weather.
We got down after spending about an hour on peak 2. The downhill trip took us only 30 minutes. I decided to trek down slowly as the entire track was muddy and slippery. Back at the carpark, we got into our car and changed and headed towards Broga town for our breakfast.
