Typically
it took 25 min to reach CP1 from Kolam Puteri but we make it
in 20 min (what a good start…). After 2 min break, we continue
our tracking to check point 2 (CP2) for another 30 min.
Rest
for 5 min and then continue to CP3 (Kolam Gajah),
we have to trek through `Tanah Kuning' to reach to Kolam Gajah…
We
meet with other group from Panasonic, Johor. Chat for a while
with them and we carry on with our journey to CP4 and
it takes about 25 min to reach there. Nice view….really
fantastic…
|
|
| Proceeding
to CP5 (Sungai Segi Tiga), we have to cross 2 hill which takes
more than 1hour to reach here. From CP4 to CP5 we really have
to be patient and it quite a long journey. We have our lunch
here. Our lunch are biscuits, bread with jam and instant maggie
with tea. After rest for 30 min, we continue our journey to
CP6 (Gua kambing), |
|
|
|
|
Here
we have to go through a steep cliff/ropes and a stream…quite
adventure…we have to be careful when we climb using the
rope….CP5 to CP6 you have to cross a place name `KFC"…..not
Kentucky Fried Chicken…!
From
CP6 to CP7 you have to cross a cave (Gua Kambing) to Botak
Hill, the track is wet….and you have to cross a stream
before you reach CP7.
At
CP7 we rest for a while and looking for a water for us to
bring to the summit because there is no water there ! From
here you can see the summit and you feel anxious to reach
the summit as soon as possible.We continue our tracking to
the summit and in our way there we meet with with a Japanese
group from Shah Alam…

…such
a nice view where you can see the sunset and feel the cool here……
Ready to built the tent …Don’t forget to bring your sweater,
sleeping bag and outdoor mats because it’s so cool here and the
wind is windy, so we have to be creative to cook our dinner. Tonight
we have a sardine, cabbage and salt fish as our menu. After dinner,rest
for a while before we continue with our activities. Have a time to
be alone to watch how wonderful to be at the top…. |
|
2100pm We have a short discussion about our tracking tomorrow.
Such
a cool night…where you can see the wind blow and the weather
become so cool and the dew drop on your face although you’re
in the tent..!!! Good night everybody..’
