<\/a><\/p>\nI can’t remember the exact date but it was somewhere early December 2012. I have heard about this hill being a good training ground for those beginners who wanted to take up hiking or just to have a good work-out without being stress out or exhausted. So I get my old hiking buddy Remy who happened to stay in Semenyih to bring me there.<\/p>\n
It was quite an easy hike actually though at first I was a bit worry whether I can make it. Been quite a while I didn’t hike, and hiking actually very different from the regular run and work-out as it involved different groups of muscles I guess. I was happy in a sense that I could keep up with the group – Remy, Ann, Yin and Stanley. In fact for most of the hike I was in front, not that I wanna show off but just to keep my momentum, or may be the rest were going slow enjoying the scenery. The morning sun was getting hotter and before halfway I was already soaking in sweat (I sweat easily). The trek all the way was obvious and clear. It was almost 1 1\/2 year ago so I can’t remember how long it took us to reach the top.<\/p>\n

Correction, I didn’t make it to the top. I stopped at a place (an open area) with a very nice view and the summit can be seen from here. I guess it is about another 30 minutes or so to reach the summit. It was not that I was running out of steam but my pair of old sport shoes gave way, what a disappointment! I took the opportunity to snap around while waiting for the rest who continued up to return. I was under the hot sun here but I didn’t mind as this is what I expected and wanted. It’s been a long time I wasn’t in this type of environment. Quite worth it I thought, able to have a good tanned, burn lots of calories, sweat out all the toxic from my body and at least my weekend were not be wasted away doing nothing…<\/p>\n

After about 45 minutes or so, the others were back and we hanged around for another 20 minutes or so before descending. This was where I took a few more shots, as I didn’t want to upset my momentum while climbing up earlier. I hope this will not be the last hike nor will be another long break till another hike.<\/p>\n
Hopefully it will be say one hike a week or at least once every 2 weeks from now on. Probably another hill somewhere, some short easy ‘1 day stuff’ before I tackle more difficult ones like those we used to do as a 1 day hike\/trip during my younger days – Gunung Nuang, G Dato Rembau, G Ansi, G Bunga Buah etc…<\/p>\n
…till I am fit and confident to attempt those other ‘big brothers’ that need a few days with training and careful planning like Gunung Korbu, Yong Yap, Yong Blar, Gunung Tahan!, Trusmadi, Batu Putih, Mulu, wow! the list goes on…<\/p>\n
…tham.<\/p>\n
