Tiring But Yet Enjoyable Trek To Mount Peninjau

2010-04-10T15:56:00.007+08:00

On 16 Jan 2010, LMAG organized a day trip at Kenderong Range. Hiking up to Mount Peninjau, 3,421 feet above sea level which is the higher point of Kenderong Range.

A total of 28 climbers can be considered as a large group for daytrip hiking program outside Klang Valley. Early morning, around 6:40am, when most of the people in Klang Valley are still asleep, we start our journey toward north via PLUS highway. We have our first meeting point at R&R Tapah where we catch our breakfast before proceed.

At about 10:15am, we arrived at Hutan Lipur Ulu Chepor. We waited for the remaining convoy to reach the place after they have missed the Chemor exit. Here we also waited for another participant from Ipoh. We met another group of hikers as well here.

We proceed with light warm up and ice-breaking with some photograph session while waiting for the rest to arrive. At about 11:00am we decided to start trekking with Yassir leading the first group while Apip waiting for the rest to arrive since day are catching up and the weather is getting hotter. About 10 minutes later, the rest arrived and the second group starts the trek at about 11:20am. The second group had to catch up with the first group while we send our sweeper, Fahmie to intercept the first group.

Our first meeting point is at the waterfall. Eventually the second group joined with the first group here at about 12pm. We take a rest here and while some enjoyed taking photos here. We start moving after 15 minutes rest.

Our trail getting stepper from time to time with about 80 degrees gradian at one point. The path getting moderate after that with a slight 30 degrees gradian. Some of our group members getting tired with the constant uphill stretch and we had to keep on supporting them mentally.

Finally we catch up with the other earlier group which we met at the trailhead. They are from Malaysia Airline System (MAS) KelanaJaya and KL. Have a good chit-chat and know each other along the way.

Reached the summit rested and with group photos taken before descend again. The day was getting dark. We split into two groups with the faster ones moving ahead and the slower pace group behind. At about 6:30pm the last group was just at the campsite where the MAS groups reside. Some of the participants have lost confidence to move ahead. Their steps start to slow down and need constant support. Our guide accompanied them and we take a rest at the waterfall. Slowly we continue our journey until we finally step out of the jungle at about 9:20pm.

We clean up ourselves by having our bath at the stream on night before leave Ulu Chepor for our dinner at TomYam House, near the main road. Reached KL at about 11:00pm.

Visit To Broga Hill

2009-09-08T12:57:00.007+08:00

Nowadays, Broga Hill becomes one of the popular recreational outdoor trails for the Klang Valley community. The hill was target for climbers from age 4 to 60 years old and there are about 100 climbers per day on every weekend. LMAG brought 18 energetic people to have an experience here on 27 June 2009.

A 2.3KM ascending route, starting from oil palm estate follow by tertiary forest and lastly grass route, ‘lalang’ area with a few boulders.

The best part here is when we trekked along hill range with lalang sitting side by side along the trail. There are 5 peaks within the hill with beautiful nature panoramas. When I was here, its remind me about my past month climb with my fellow friends to Mt. Sumbing at Central Java. The route scene between both places look mimic but with differences in distance, altitude and temperature only.

Although the trail was short but it got most of us sweating non-stop. One has to be here early to avoid the heat from the barren land. We started a bit late where the weather are mild but by that time we notice some trekkers are coming down from the hill already. However, with less trekker, it makes us easy for photo shooting session.

We descended using a different route to escape the hot sun where more vegetation was seen along the way. This route goes through rubber estate as well until our car park area. Through the jungle on the way down, we found ripe durians along the trails. It is a wild durian fresh from the durian trees. Some local people call it Durian Orang Asli even though there is no Orang Asli settlement here. The durian was very small, less smell and less taste.

With this guided trip, we hope every participant can regularly organized a visit to this place with friends to trek and enjoy the panoramic view of Semenyih. Let us set full passion in outdoor and get full of awesome experience.

Rekreasi Hujung Minggu di Hutan Lipur Bukit Lagong (14/03/09)

2009-05-03T13:44:00.007+08:00

Meluangkan masa hampir seharian di Hutan Lipur Bukit Lagong menjadi pilihan rekreasi hujung minggu kali ini. Program anjuran Lafuma Malaysia Adventure Group (LMAG) disertai sebilangan peserta yang minat pada reakreasi alam. Hutan lipur yang berada di daerah Selayang, Selangor ini mungkin masih asing dikalangan masysarakat Lembah Klang. Cuma beberapa meter dari Ibupejabat Polis Daerah Gombak terpampang papan tanda hutan lipur ini.
Bermula dari butik Lafuma di Bangsar, kedai sukan rekreasi di Jalan Telawi kami seramai 7 orang menaiki MPV ke hutan lipur. Cuaca pagi yang mulanya hujan renyai-renyai menyusutkan bilangan penyertaan disaat-saat akhir. Nasib kami agak baik, di Selayang bukan sahaja tidak hujan malah mentari mula menyinar garang.

MPV kami menyusuri jalan hutan lipur ini melepasi penempatan Orang Asli hingga akhir jalan berturap. Sebaik sahaja turun dari kenderaan, kami meluruskan urat-urat serta mula memanaskan badan selepas sessi ice-breaking.

Awal perjalanan kami tidak sunyi, bunyi unggas-unggas selain deruan jeram yang berhampiran mengamit suasana. Hutan lipur ini yang menjadi destinasi peminat burung atau lebih dikenali bird-watcher terdiri dari beberapa rintis. Kami memilih rintis penarik yang menghala ke atas salah satu bukit di sini.

Perjalanan kami makin lama makin jauh ke tengah rimba. Sedikit-demi sedikit kami mendaki. Peluh mulai keluar dan bahang panas mula terasa. Beberapa sarang burung jelas kelihatan di atas pokok yang sayup tingginya. Tanpa peralatan binokular kami dapat perhatikan sarang-sarang yang dibuat diatas kanopi rimba. Suatu pemandangan yang sukar diperolehi bagi jungle trekker.

Langkah demi langkah kami aturkan, adakalanya melintasi jeram dan ada pula meniti tebing bergaung. Ada flora yang menjadi tarikan diperjalanan kami seperti cendawan butang sebesar 15 inci diameter. Pokok kayu serai wangi yang baunya tidak asing dikalangan pengguna minyak-minyak tradisional.

Fauna seperti serangga dan unggas tak terlepas dari perhatian kami. Sekumpulan burung layang-layang yang terbang umpama pesta cukup menarik minat kami. Lama kami memerhatikan suasana ini sebelum beredar meneruskan perjalanan.

Jam 10:30 pagi kami sudah berada di kawasan puncak. 20 meter menghampiri puncak dipenuhi belukar dan semak-samun.Di destinasi terakhir kami bergambar berkumpulan sebagai kenangan. Kami berehat seketika sebelum memulakan perjalanan turun dilaluan yang sama.

Mentari menyinar semakin terik, rentis yang banyak terdedah dengan panahan matahari ini menjadi cabaran buat kami. Rentis yang dianggarkan sejauh 5 KM dirasa semakin jauh semasa pulang berbanding perjalanan pergi.

Akhirnya kami selamat kembali ke MPV kami jam 12:30. Sebelum pulang kami singgah sebentar di Air Terjun Bukit Lagong. Beberapa pengunjung memeriahkan suasana disini. Melihat gelagat dan telatah mereka sudah cukup menyejukkan badan kami lebih-lebih lagi tiada persalinan yang dibawa untuk mandi-manda. Jam 1:30 kami kembali ke Bangsar dan bersurai.

About Mount Trusmadi
Trusmadi Mount, measuring at 2,462m or 8,669ft, is the Malaysia second highest mountain after Gunung Kinabalu (4,101m or 13,433ft) but is said to offer a much more challenging climb. Situated between the districts of Tambunan to the north and Keningau to the south (in the state of Sabah in Borneo).

Unlike Mount Kinabalu which is visited by thousands of people every year, Mount Trusmadi – situated some 70km southeast of Kota Kinabalu – is not a tourist mountain and is rarely visited. Until recently, there are only one or two expeditions climb on this mountain each year.
The slopes of the mountain, which are covered with rich vegetation houses many species of birds, animals and plants, making it a trekker's haven.

The summit (of Mount Trusmadi) is reputed to have the best dawn view of Mount Kinabalu, which lies over 40km to the north. A unique pitcher plant, Nepenthes x trusmadiensis (a natural hybrid between Nepenthes lowii and Nepenthes edwardsiana) is found here and nowhere else.

Bukit Tabur Alert Notice

2009-04-14T15:13:00.004+08:00

Most of us from the hiking and trekking communities are aware of whereabout of Bukit Tabur and have done some hikes there in the past. However there are still some of us who may not be aware of the danger or risk of climbing Bukit Tabur or I would say that we take it lightly on the safety aspect of the climb. There has been several cases and some involved fatalities as well during the past years where hikers fell from the cliff during their climb. The risk is not only apply to beginner but experience and hikers who are frequent the place as well.

We at Lafuma Bangsar, would wished to alert all our customers, friends and fellow hikers to be more alert when you climb at Bukit Tabur. Make sure you are well prepared for the hike and also make do your friends or partners that are coming along with you aware of the risk, safety and precaution aspect of the climb. Here are some tips that we would like to share with you during your trip there.

1) Never go alone for this hike. Bring along some experience hiker or friends with you. If you need to go alone, never forget your handphone as it will be a handy gadget to have in case of emergency.
2) Avoid trekking to this place at night as well as rainy season.
3) Start your journey early in the morning as the place will heat up fast after the sunrise due to the quartz terrain. Bring along more water as you may get dehydrated fast if you are long up there.
4) Becareful on certain danger spot/zone where you need to do a bit of rock scrambling up or down. Use the safety rope if there is any.
5) Get a proper shoes with good traction and grip and never go with your normal sandals/slippers.
6) If you are bringing your friends there, please do keep the group small or in a manageable size so that you can take care of them accordingly.
7) Lastly, keep your family informed of your trip there.

Checked this related blog about Bukit Tabur where it gives you a good pictorial on the danger spot as well as the safety climbing technics for the danger area, http://bukittabur.blogspot.com/

Remember, while we enjoy our climb never put our life into jeopardy. We live to climb and continue climbing .....

Climbing Mt. Tera with Lafuma gears

2009-02-21T19:21:00.009+08:00

Climbing Mount Tera is all about climbing the highest peak at Gunung Stong Middle Forest Reserve. Mount Tera, stood 1556 meter above sea level situated in the virgin jungle among 7 mountains. The mountain is not open for normal climber except for the experience ones and who already climbed Mount Stong & Mount Ayam.

Based on the climbing history of Mt Tera, since 2005 only one group per year heading to this mountain. The success rate to the highest peak of Mt Tera is very low as most of the expedition failed due to lost of trail. The normal duration of the expedition is 5 days. I made a preliminary study and plan the journey to be as shortest as possible so that our group can covered more area. As such I picked my best teamates for the trip. At one point, the guide community disagree on my plan and I have to coax them into agreeing our tentative plan as day past by we proof our team capabilities in covering long distances without problems.

All the climbers come with the best gear they have with them. Most of the brand that I can spot is ‘LAFUMA’. The product I noticed was shoes, pants, jackets, daypack, haversack and tent.

Zuhara and his Lafuma single pole tent setup at Mt Ayam peak campsite. As a woman, the tent weight is not an issue for her to carry since the product was light. This is the first time she use the tent. We have asked her personal comment on the tent after she slept 2 nights inside it and thumbs up was given on the product.

The journey route start from Jelawang Resort follows the path until Mt Ayam campsite. From Mt Ayam to Mt Tera we used the elephant route. Syukri, who wore the outdry shoes does not have any problem crossing the muddy and wet area on elephant valley.

The gear feature became one of the topics we chit-chatting before supper at our campsite. Sharing our outdoor experiences and gear knowledge covered most of the night talk during the trip.

Our Mt Tera trip was the most memorable one. As in good group size and hiking pace, we are offered to a hidden waterfall we named it Lata Gajah Meniti (Elephant Way Cascade).

We are not only conquering Mt Tera peak, Mt. Ayam, Mt. Saji and lastly Mt. Stong was also in our reach. On this trip, the famous Jelawang waterfall became our welcome and goodbye icon as it past our path towards achieving our dream to Mt Tera.

“...suddenly one of my close friend call me and inviting me to join his trip to Mount Tera last week. I cannot refuse his offer due to my interest in Mount Tera itself,... I'm not regretting my decision to climb Mount Tera.” Hasan Ayat (still lost in jungle, Mt Yong Yap trip since 15 Feb 2009)

Nuang Hike

2008-12-29T13:57:00.000+08:00

On the 6th of December, there were 15 of us in a group who gone up to Gunung Nuang, Hulu Langat and that was no easy task. The trip was organised by Lafuma Malaysia Adventure Group (LMAG) for its customers and it is open for the publics as well. It's all started at 7:00am at Lafuma Bangsar where consists of 4 cars leave the shop heading towards Hulu Langat.

The journey from KL to Gunung Nuang entrance took us around 45 minutes. Some of us have never been to Nuang before thought that since it is just within Selangor state and it shouldn’t take that “long” to reach the destination. As usual we started the climb with some briefing and the guide and sweeper for the day is Muzammil and CK from Lafuma.

We started our hike with the pretty rocky, uphill and never ending trail. We went through the pine tree forest and bamboo gardens. We couldn't differentiate what are the differences because they all look the same to us. Besides, we had a few water stops and rest along the way and it took us about 1 hour 30 minutes to reach the first campsite, Kem Lolo, which is our initial target.

After a small rest at Kem Lolo, we decided to continue our climb to the next campsite, while some will stay at Kem Lolo after the exhausted hike. Then, we gave our steps the final push through the red clay up to Kem Pacat, a campsite before the peak. We trekked for almost 2 hours to reach the campsite. We had our light lunch and chilled out at Kem Pacat for a while.

After filled up our stomach, we decend from Kem Pacat at about 2:00pm. We went straight to the river for a clean up and cooling bath when we reached Kem Lolo. We dismissed at about 6:00pm from the entrance. The journey will be continued...the next mission will be the peak!

360° Panorama View on top of Rasa Hill (22/11/08)

2008-12-09T13:57:00.011+08:00

The rainy season in November didn’t stop LMAG’s hiking activity. We went to Rasa Hill, which is 285 meters above sea level and located at Bukit Terek Forest Reserve, Hulu Selangor. Most of the past hikers do not know the exact name of the hill because Rasa Hill was named after Two Ringgit Hill by them.

We started the climb at 8:30am in the morning. Suddenly, the sky started to rain. However, we were lucky that the rain was just lasted for a few minutes. The trail is pretty short and it can be divided into three different parts. The first section of our journey was slow as the terrain full with loose rock and soft soil. At one part of the route, we need to climb a 90 degrees wall.

Next, we trekked inside the jungle that is full with ‘Bertam’ trees. Then, we passed through the section with ‘Resam’ trees vegetation before we finally reached for the summit of Rasa Hill. The hike is interesting because the peak was marked by Trigo Station and 360° panorama. We also can see Genting Highlands and Titiwangsa Range clearly.

After the groups photo session, as usual some of us took photos alone for personal collection. We trekked down the Rasa Hill through the same route and dismiss at 11:30am. Although the hiking trip was short but most of us enjoyed the scenic view. Even some of us plan to revisit Rasa Hill again, especially for nature photography, sunset or sunrise.

Bukit Tabur Revisit (18 Oct 2008)

2008-10-27T18:28:00.005+08:00

It has been awhile before we are back to Bukit Tabur again. However, this time we will be heading to Bukit Tabur East instead of West as previously. A group of 16 people has signed up for the climb to this infamous Klang Dam Gate Quartz Ridge. We started our journey at the foothill where the Syabas water authority were but on the east side instead of the west side and following the huge water pipe from the dam. We cross a small river before meeting the rest of the hikers at the starting point. A safety briefing and ice-breaking session was conducted by our guide, Apip before ascending the hill.

The terrain was steep and mixed with some mild rock climbing session. On certain section, we have to pull on the ropes provided in order to continue on our journey. Although the hike is short but it is pretty demanding as we not only need to use our leg but our biceps as well. A trek and climb for an hour paid handsomely with a nice scenery and view of the city at the peak. We could also see the peak of Bukit Tabur West from here and scenic view of the Klang Dam as well. That soothes our tiredness while most of us trying to get a few click of the view from the top. We take couple of minutes break before heading back track from where we came from as the weather is expected to be cloudy soon.

Backtracking is also as challenging as climbing up as one might not careful and slip through the ridge. We take care on each step that we made and better be slow rather than sorry. It started drizzling when we descending and luckily the trail was short and we managed to reach our starting point before it starts raining cat and dog. The trip was short and enjoyable ones where we have a balance of good workout with a bonus scenic view.

2008-10-27T16:43:00.003+08:00

Exploratory Trail at Kota Damansara Community Forest

2008-10-02T12:35:00.014+08:00

On 14 September 2008 a group of 14 people from LMAG have set to explore forest nearby our KL city namely Kota Damansara Community Forest. It is one of the few green lung left within the city vicinity apart from Bukit Gasing in PJ, Taman Tun Dr Ismail & Mont Kiara Forest Reserve, FRIM in Kepong, Bukit Tabur in Taman Melawati and Bukit Apeh in Cheras. The Kota Damansara Community Forest is rich with biodiversity of flora and fauna just like Bukit Gasing in PJ. The forest area was huge and one can hike from Kota Damansara to Bukit Lanjang as well as to Sungai Buloh R&R at Plus NSE Highway area.

All of us set to meet at the starting point at 7.45am instead of the usual place at our Lafuma Bangsar outlet. The guide for the trip was none other than Apip and Ng being the sweeper for the day. We have a light safety briefing and introduction session before we head for the trail at about 8am. The trail started on the left of the community shade and seems to be easy. However within a few minutes the trail was on uphill mode. Some of our members arrived late and we take this opportunity to take five while waiting for them to join in. One thing good about this forest is that you can be access via handphone anywhere as there are adequate signal coverage here in case you are lost or in emergency situation.

The overall trail was easy with slight uphill and downhill mode but one need to be careful as certain places might be slippery and watch out before you grab on the plant as some with torn on it. We make a few stop at certain point where Apip show us some unique parasite plant on top of a huge tree as well as leaf which seems to reflect bright glow during the dark.

With intense development within the forest border, it seems to be some light landslide which caused fallen trees along our trail. At one time, we lost count on how many trees that have fallen along the way and we need to either climb or dunk down to pass through our passage.

There are a lot of trail in this forest and also a favourite spot for Hash runner as well as MNS members for their activities. It happens that the trail we took was also a fresh trail just set by the Hare of one of the Hash club as evident in the trail marker left by them. Since it was a Ramadan Month and some of our friends was fasting, we make our trip short and lasted for only about one and a half hours before we emerged from the forest at the backyard of some residential bungalows at Kota Damansara. We will definitely revisit the place but on a different trail next time, perhaps a longer one. :-)

Lafuma in Kilimanjaro

2008-10-01T17:27:00.003+08:00

Sometime in early July 2008, a lovely couple, Steve and Emma both Lafuma members have pledged to fund raise for UNICEF to help the children in developing countries on their charity and fund climb to Mount Kilimanjaro (5,985m), Tanzania, Africa. They are back recently with a successful mission by not only raising more funds than what they have set earlier but also summitted to the one of the highest mountain in Africa! Total funds raised to date was 1,600 Pound!

Let's congratulate Steve and Emma for their challenging feats and their determination is definitely something we should learn from. Well with a total of six days expedition mission (from 21/7/08 to 26/7/08) to summit the gigantic mountain, the story from both of them is well worthwhile to read. For those who intend to summit this African highest peak, you should not miss this valuable tips from this couple. Read their tales at http://journals.worldnomads.com/steve_and_emma/

Fresh & light - Sg Perdik Waterfall trip (30/08/08)

2008-09-08T09:35:00.007+08:00

This trip was on Merdeka Eve. We call our trip as Merdeka Hike. It takes me a few days before I pen down in this blog. It is much easier for my leg to move anywhere rather than my little finger doing the job of editing as I consider myself have a very active leg. Thank you to all who participate and contributes to LMAG Sg Perdik Waterfall trips.

Early morning of the Merdeka eve we gather at Lafuma Bangsar Boutique for car pooling towards Hulu Langat. Two cars left from Bangsar while we meet another one car at Pekan Bt 18 Hulu Langat.

Around 9 am our cars entered Hutan Lipur Hulu Perdik area. We are the only visitor here. We are trekking in one group. Trekking along the Hulu Perdik valley and crossing the river stream three times. Continued our trail to hike just a few minutes before we reach the waterfall (cascades).

The waterfall has several places where we can have a nice shower. We spent about half an hour enjoying ourselves here. Some of us have a refreshing shower. The trip was short, light and the most important was enjoyable. Meet us in next outing trip.

A member of our participant, Brother Ng YH has posted some of the pictures in his weblog here for sharing.

Challenging Hill Hike!

2008-09-03T11:32:00.016+08:00

Participant before start trekking

Pine Tree Hill - Twin Peak (16/08/08)

Since March 2008 once a month we run a mountain hiking activities. Started with G. Nuang followed by G. Hitam, G. Datuk and G. Gap. On August our challenge is to hike two peaks in a day where we have identified Pine Tree Hill – Twin Peak located at Fraser Hill District. ’Hill’ is something we kind of downgrade our challenge since we have been to mountains for the past months. However this is not a normal hill. Why! Read our full blog.

Pine Tree Hill just 4777 feet above the sea level. The Pine Tree Hill trail starts from the top of Fraser Hill which both hill altitude range is quite similar. The challenge is to cross 6KM from the starting point to Pine Tree Peak and another half an hour to Twin Peak which is at the distance of not more than 1KM.

The journey started from our Lafuma Bangsar outlet after most of us having our breakfast. We set to gather at Fraser Hill Gate before drove up together to Fraser Hill. On 11:35AM, we arrived at Fraser Hill and lodged Police Report on our activity as part of the safety measure before heading to the jungle.

10 minutes before 12 o'clock we start our trekking. Initially the track was flat for the first 15 minutes. After that the trail was downward slope, follow by up, flat, down, flat and up and up. We were trekking deep into the jungle. At certain points, we found border stone (Selangor – Pahang) along the trail which means we are at the state border line.

Half an hour before we reach the Pine Tree summit, we break at the shelter nearby which was also the last water point. We take a few minutes of rest while waiting for other friends which is still not with us. The weather looks like going to rain soon. Sharp 1:30 pm we continued our challenge.

The last challenge is to reach Pine Tree Summit which takes us to 90 degree vertical wall hike. The existing old rope was there to help us climb up the steep slope. Last person reached the summit on 2:30pm. We heard news from our sweeper; Bro Wong give up on the hike and just stops till last water point shelter while Bro Oon accompanied him. It’s a good try since both of them have at least hiked for 5KM one way.

On top of the Pine Tree Hill, we take our lunch. The dark cloud is fast approaching us and looks like going to rain anytime. We moved faster. Rushing to take group photos and prepare to move forward. We started another challenge to reach for Twin Peak. Some of us decided not to join and plan to head back as they have another agenda on early evening that day while remaining nine (9) of us proceed to trek to Twin Peak. After 5 minutes trekking finally the expected rain comes.

Another 5 minutes later, 2 of our members decided to call it a day for Twin Peak and head back down. Sharp half an hour from Pine Tree Summit we have reached Twin Peak. It was still raining and luckily our sweeper, Muzammil brought along underwater camera which we managed to have our group photos. All of the hikers showed satisfaction and achievement while smiling along with the photo shoot and I’m proud with them. Again, we rush going down and back to civilization.

On 6:30pm we finished our jungle trail. Trip Success!!!.

Enjoyable trip @ Sg Lepoh Waterfall

2008-08-22T11:39:00.011+08:00

On 26 July 2008, LMAG have a trip to Sg. Lepoh Waterfall, Hulu Langat, Selangor. As usual, Lafuma Bangsar is our meeting point. 2 cars with 8 persons depart towards Hulu Langat. We stopped at Petronas Bt 7 Jalan Cheras to wait for another participants in 1 car to join our convoy. At Pekan Bt 18, Hulu Langat we stop for breakfast. Pekan Batu 18 (18 miles from Kuala Lumpur) is the last town before reaching Sg. Lepoh.

When arrived at Sg. Lepoh car park, immediately the parking attendant approach us to collect parking fees. Mentioning “Dalam banyak durian? (there is a lot of durian inside the jungle), Apip been told that “Kalau ada ambillah, tak payah bayar" (you can take it to eat without pay if available) by the parking attendant. So our car park fees include durian as well, what a great deal!

The program start with ice breaking session, Adinson and her mum, Marie. Ori Osawa and Robert both foreigners, Genevy with all white shirt & short pants, Jakie and her umbrella, Sarawakian loving couple, Juckson & Rachel, Nana, Apip wife, Eryn, lastly Muzammil, one of our LMAG crew.

Firstly, our trail crosses durian orchards. Now is durian season. We can smell the durian along our trail. Beside the durian, the beautiful ginger plant also can be seen at both side of our trail. When we enter to the jungle, we try our luck to search for falling durians but to no avail on that time or else we would be feasting ourselves when we reach the waterfall.

There was a old small dam located inside the jungle. Since mid 90’s the dam has not been used after the some broken pipes detected due to falling trees that crash on it. We continue trekking and our trail just beside the river stream. We finally saw the big waterfall (cascade).

Robert was getting excited too fast when he saw the waterfall and be the first person to dip in the pool while the rest of us still cooling down from the trekking activity. All of us enjoy the surrounding nature as well as bathing at the pool. Some of us just get some fun ride sliding through the water cascades (only advisable with correct technique and safety precaution measures taken). Jakie & Marie also enjoy watching us while relax at the side of the waterfall pool.

It is hard to say how joyful we are at that particular moment. No words can describe how we felt. Check out on our series of photos, only pictures can tell 1001 stories. It can only show how happy and enjoy we are. Experience yourselves by participating our hikes in future to enjoy the same experience and joyful moment that we have like this trip of ours.

Historical Trail Adventure - Gunung G.A.P (12/07/08)

2008-07-15T03:48:00.023+08:00

The troops of the trip, photo taken by Muzammil

As usual, the trip starts off at Lafuma boutique, Bangsar. While waiting for other team members to arrive, some of us took our breakfast at Mamak Restaurant nearby. The weather was perfect with clear blue sky. Most of us in a relax mood and seems to be not in a rush.

At about 8:00 am we left Bangsar and head down to Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by Pregio Van and Pajero. We set to meet at KKB town. KKB was a small and old town, the town without traffic light. We can easily bump to each other there without sweat.

It was 9 am when we arrive at KKB. We bought our pack lunch here and continued the journey toward Fraser Hill at about 9:30 am. We could see Sg. Selangor Dam at the roadside before we cross Sg. Chilling recreation park.

Upon arriving at GAP rest house area, we parked our Pregio and Pajero near the old 'Rumah Kedai'. The GAP rest house located just beside the junction to Fraser Hill and Raub. It is one of the British colonial house there. The house is closed for renovation when we arrived here.

We get ready with proper trekking attire and we started of with some stretching instructed by Apip. We continue with ice-breaking session to know each other and follow by a short safety briefing. All of us was in a mood to start the hike and Apip our guide's headed the trail while Muzammil follow behind as a last person in the line.

At the beginning, the trekking path was very challenging and slippery. We need to cross a placed full of bamboo with lot of it falling apart and create hindrance to our trekking path. When we past the bamboo area, the trail look better and more moderate. The weather is much better than our previous climbed to G. Datok. The air is cool just like a natural air-cond. I told the trail story as I read on the book 'The Jungle is Neutral' written by Spencer Chapman. Luckily Bro Oon and Bro Chan also read that book before. So we shared our opinion along the trail.

12:30 pm, we reaching the peak. Just one hour climb from the starting point. The peak use to be marked by a square stone and trigo station was missing totally. We only managed to find the 4 holes where the station pole was erected previously. Nevertheless, we knew this was the correct place and we are now up at the peak of Mt. Gap.

After taken our lunch and photo session we descended down toward the same route. On the way down, we control some of our pace and slow down a bit due to slippery track especially at the mid span of our trail journey. Lastly at 3:30 pm we reach the roadside where we start in the morning.

At about 5 meters away from our car park, we have a bath and clean up. Luckily, the weather was on our side throughout the journey. Looking back, I can't imagine what could have happen if it is raining and the trek will be a tough ones with most of us will slipping and wet all the way. At 3:30 pm we dismiss and back to our hometown.

Proud with LMAG @ Mt Datok

2008-07-10T07:49:00.005+08:00

On 28 June 2008 a group of 37 people from age 10 years old to 44 years old have successfully conquer Gunung Datok at Rembau, Negeri Sembilan. The trip was organised by Lafuma Malaysia Adventure Group (LMAG) for its customers and friends. It all started at 7.30am at Lafuma Bangsar where the convoy of 10 cars leave the shop heading towards Rembau. This has been the biggest group ever since LMAG organised its fortnight trips locally.

The journey from KL to Rembau take us about 1 hour plus before we reached the destination. As usual we started the climb with some safety briefing and the guide and sweeper for the day is our Abang Apip and Abang Muzammil from Lafuma.

The terrain from the starting point is about 70 to 80 degree and lasted about 45 minutes before we comes to a much even terrain. Some of the beginner in the group already puffing for air during the hard steep hike. The group members took 5, waiting for each other while some energetic ones proceed till the top non-stop!

The hike to the peak took us about 2 hours in average. While waiting for all to arrive at the summit camp, we prepared and heat up our lunch for the day, pita served with vege and chicken mixed with mayo. Yummy, yummy plus a special concotion of tea and lychee drink. Thanks to our guide and friends who help out during the preparation.

After filled up our stomach, we adjourned to the summit with photo session and scenery viewing. Our experience guide introduced us to a foot print myth at the summit (which hidden somewhere in the corner!). It is belief that the foot print belong to our great hero, Hang Tuah during old days. We took turn taking photos at the summit with Lafuma flag waving proudly on our today feat.

We decend from the summit at about 2.30pm. Some who make it really down fast, decided to make a move earlier while some of us head towards the adjacent river for a clean up and cooling bath. We dismissed at about 4.30pm from the park and bring back the joyous and fond moment with us to the city, KL while leaving our footprint like our hero, Hang Tuah there. The journey will continue....

Leisure & Light Trip to Sg. Pisang Waterfall (14 June 2008)

2008-06-18T04:59:00.000+08:00

LMAG June activity start with leisure & light trip to Sg. Pisang Waterfall, located at Gombak, Selangor. The trip guided and lead by Apip. The line up for this trip start with, Azman, Edina, Englebert, Hui Gee, Godfrey, Khairul, Mardiah, Teoh, Claire, Susan, Goh, Ken with his 2 kids, Rebecca & Ethan. Another of our crew member, Muzammil act as sweeper and also our official photographer.

At the begining of our journey, it's look like a walk in recreation park before we head to a stream nearby.

During our walk, we saw some other visitors enjoying at one of the river stream. We go further to reach for the waterfall, deep in jungle. Our first river crossing was at the small water treatment dam at Sg. Gombak.

We have to cross the Karak Highway... using the tunnel below. The journey becomes like Indiana Jones trails. Hemmmm minus the enemy.

We have to cross a few river path. Some of us does not prepared to get wet on the journey. Crossing river again and again makes them take off and put on their shoes all the time. Some would take five at this moment and enjoy the scenery and have photography session here. However, we come as a group we make sure no one left behind.

We go ahead toward Kuantan following the highway path. Sure! this path was dry. Its look like a group of people stranded at highway where their bus breakdown and you have to walk for help...

Finally we arive at Sg. Pisang campsite at 11++. We have our ice-breaking session there. Reminder also been made to the participants on care and safety procedure before we enter the wet and slippery zone ahead of us.

A slippery slope that we have to pass before we reach the destination. All the way down to the waterfall.

Finally we reached the waterfall at about 12pm. Some of the participants take their stress out by having good time playing at the waterfall while some of us keep ourselves dry by strolling around the site, taking photograph, having light snack and relax.

Groups photo taken by our crew, Muzammil.

At about 2pm we head back to where we start by using a different trail near the river path. Nice but a lot of river crossing again...
