Bukit Larut has been closed for 4 years due to landslides and also Covid-19. During this time, only hikers are able to arrive at the peak. Most resorts here are in a run-down state. We went to Cendana Hut which I stayed there before, and were sad to see that it suffers the same fate.

Facing the east of South China sea, Danang has good sandy beach with many high-rise hotels fronting the sea. The Bana Hills resorts built high up in the mountains with French colonial theme, offers a cooler climate. Located at 1,500m above sea level, the elevation of Bana Hills is 52 meters higher than Cameron Highlands. The most famous landmark at Bana Hills is the Golden Bridge with the signature fingers holding the bridge. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_Cegm-p_Kj7fPHGQI5iBzvG49cqOAiwQci4OsyODgTnhk1isDDluXdtJgw5eE6hEBrxJmrSsBGRDUBbr-Vup0p4Yjjj1Q57CD-fTasZBfv0GXM0XOdGaSgKcx3vNW6jRq_XAbA2KMK2pPJDfIYJ67UWTfSoQxdiWF7lM7XwkFHokqY-yow/s640/P1460892.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh_Cegm-p_Kj7fPHGQI5iBzvG49cqOAiwQci4OsyODgTnhk1isDDluXdtJgw5eE6hEBrxJmrSsBGRDUBbr-Vup0p4Yjjj1Q57CD-fTasZBfv0GXM0XOdGaSgKcx3vNW6jRq_XAbA2KMK2pPJDfIYJ67UWTfSoQxdiWF7lM7XwkFHokqY-yow/s16000/P1460892.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000;">Hoi An ancient town ... many stalls sell lanterns; they also allow tourists to take photo with a nominal fee</span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Majority of the tourists in Danang during our visits were from Msia, Taiwan and Korea; visibily missing are the Chinese tourists.

We started the hike at 6am and only return to trail head after 12 hours. This is a tough mountain to tackle, tougher than hiking Gunung Nuang peak. It was a gloomy day but only started to drizzle at around 5pm after we have crossed the river at Lubuk Hantu campsite while returning to the trail head. Surprisingly, there was not a single leech on the trails, especially the first part (from trail head to Lubuk Hantu campsite). The first part of the trails is clear and wide. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;">Do</span> </span><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/8zxhQhWemrSYQWvn9" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;">CLICK HERE</span></b></a><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: red;">to view photos courtesy of yours truly, KC Leong.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhTKPpeOZj82Zc60JiQ9G_KixAzl9v4HdVpEFQEv9Gub1O71HFMIPoHT3_pRsP4lkgDSoWti6M3l602MWon5jAq6TzivROP3VJDaWWzkjBtpH4_EpJ-CwqbM4l71d-zUAKlBjoOfJuyB0FscfIUv6qHT8nvCLBJ17_cTMShDdt4Z6IVEpUpw/s640/P1460239.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhTKPpeOZj82Zc60JiQ9G_KixAzl9v4HdVpEFQEv9Gub1O71HFMIPoHT3_pRsP4lkgDSoWti6M3l602MWon5jAq6TzivROP3VJDaWWzkjBtpH4_EpJ-CwqbM4l71d-zUAKlBjoOfJuyB0FscfIUv6qHT8nvCLBJ17_cTMShDdt4Z6IVEpUpw/s16000/P1460239.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180; font-size: medium;">A group photo at Lubuk Hantu before crossing the river</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I have a packet of Kembara outdoor meal - Chicken Masak Merah with Tomato Rice - balance from the Gunung Ledang hike.

Likewise, if one has the enthusiasm, one must challenge oneself by hiking up Gunung Tahan. Standing at an elevation of 2,187 meters, it is the highest peak in Peninsular Msia, or G1 of the G7 mountains. This mountain is considered by many to be one of the toughest treks in Peninsular Msia. From Merapoh side, one has to cross a total of 8 streams/rivers, climb steep rooted paths, step on muddy puddle to arrive at the destination. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #990000;">Do</span> <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/8XcdF1t287DXAQqA7" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">CLICK HERE</span></b></a> <span style="color: #990000;">to view 220 high-resolution photos courtesy of your truly, KC ... in this photo album, it also contains photos contributed from the team members. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnY7YAxQp_NkOWHoDm9-8s02m5f3DGG4Hfy0PN57izS1cxUn-AVpDQMlXBSqptaWWznlu1Qiy1E54sWmbG9ing5NEIaU3RGT45zysz5ebYFZK9ppwtqomsEjXhtxrPEx2cIFu_88kpNOKTxu0q8cxadziFtbJiJOR6nlVK_36WApSb7jQ7nA/s640/P1450338.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnY7YAxQp_NkOWHoDm9-8s02m5f3DGG4Hfy0PN57izS1cxUn-AVpDQMlXBSqptaWWznlu1Qiy1E54sWmbG9ing5NEIaU3RGT45zysz5ebYFZK9ppwtqomsEjXhtxrPEx2cIFu_88kpNOKTxu0q8cxadziFtbJiJOR6nlVK_36WApSb7jQ7nA/s16000/P1450338.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: medium;">Declaration of personal items at Sungai Relau Park Office ...

It is best to share a porter, say, 1/3 share (5kg), or 1/2 share (7.5kg) among hikers. The items for porters to carry must be protected in plastic bags to avoid getting wet; a simple big shopping bag, say, from Ikea or Decathlon would be good to contain all the necessary items when handing over to the porter.

If one is carrying a few extra kilograms of weight above one's comfortable level, the backpack would weigh one down. Hence, one must seriously test the actual load of the backpack, and for a few continuous days of local training. Allocating 5kg of personal items for porter to carry would ease one's load considerably. I was carrying all stuff myself with a total weight of 15kg. Though I could handle the load, the additional weight from the backpack altered my centre of gravity and threw me off-balance a few times. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhEw1POi15JO15kdO8R60FWFLWBfb9CXICOxxBLyRBLdDTequ4pZQWjC8iESOzB0E9N3ua4SGK-bfuKKrjV7pTnuXmqfcqUTfm4O2GykzuSQ06ann9OQfEUnPmQwPRVI6O3Nrx_jyVT-Q7nIqN78ZAjrZTAzU0wpAnMNe4NXUD7boDs8_nLA/s640/P1450407.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhEw1POi15JO15kdO8R60FWFLWBfb9CXICOxxBLyRBLdDTequ4pZQWjC8iESOzB0E9N3ua4SGK-bfuKKrjV7pTnuXmqfcqUTfm4O2GykzuSQ06ann9OQfEUnPmQwPRVI6O3Nrx_jyVT-Q7nIqN78ZAjrZTAzU0wpAnMNe4NXUD7boDs8_nLA/s16000/P1450407.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: medium;">At second campsite - Kem Kubang; here, space is limited, and water source is 10 minutes away</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">4D3N or 5D4N</span></b></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Most hikers would take the 4D3N journey thereby from Kem Kor to Kem Botak (Day 2 of the hike) is completed within a day. This choice is tough as the distance is 16km, and there is almost 1,200 meters of elevation gain; not forgetting one has to carry the heavy weight of backpacks. Most hikers would take 10 to 12 hours to hike from Kem Kor to Kem Botak. For an additional day (5D4N type), the journey involves extra camping at Kem Kubang, and the journey is less strenuous. With extra day, it is possible to summit from Kem Botak within the same day, enjoying the sunset; and leaving next morning to have direct descent from Kem Botak to Kem Kor. </span> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5KHwlW0mP1vNvl7D8SOYAMmesjV_vh_WLgZMZVmunFdZHmO8tcDLQI-3p6jwO601ai0Z1X_Daqsx5bjhDW0Q4PHvLMsysgszqV2cGNdCFESfLMDf4ojsIahs3bKZWIRC6IsV3v-KkFJGa1l_RMZEeClFx94sVhhPVOqSI0XDLuZh-VKxCjg/s640/P1450428.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5KHwlW0mP1vNvl7D8SOYAMmesjV_vh_WLgZMZVmunFdZHmO8tcDLQI-3p6jwO601ai0Z1X_Daqsx5bjhDW0Q4PHvLMsysgszqV2cGNdCFESfLMDf4ojsIahs3bKZWIRC6IsV3v-KkFJGa1l_RMZEeClFx94sVhhPVOqSI0XDLuZh-VKxCjg/s16000/P1450428.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: medium;">Good weather and lots of blue sky ... at Bonsai areas (left) Cheng Li, Sabrina, Wey Tyng, Josephine, Shu-Lin, Rachel.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Training </span></b></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Not all training grounds are the same: for close to Gunung Tahan conditions, one has to train at the stretch between Kem Pacat to False Peak of Gunung Nuang.

From the Google Maps, the direct distance apart between Gunung Nuang (Pansoon) and GBH trail heads are just 12km away. But the travelling time is almost double compares going to Nuang trail head. Arriving at GBH trail head, one has to travel through the zigzag country road; many kilometers before reaching GBH trail head, the road is just gravel and dirt (not tarred) and not pleasant to drive. Travelling time from Subang Jaya to GBH trail head is 2 hr 15 min.

At a height of 587 meters, it is quite a challenging hill to hike. It is best to ascend the hill via Trail A and descend via Trail B. Trail A is challenging, overcoming steep rocky slopes with good ropes provided, and require stronger upper body strength. Trail B is a little gradual, hence, safe for descent. Reversing the order can be dangerous if involved in a fatal fall, unless one is good in abseiling or rock climbing. When the rocky surfaces are wet, going up via Trail A is not a good idea. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">The trails are well marked, and the thick ropes are well maintained by Bentong Forestry. There is a clearing at the peak with a good view of Bentong township and the distant mountains.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Do </span><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/pAvMZ2UhSpr88HMe6" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: large;">CLICK HERE</span></b></a><span style="color: #cc0000;"> to view 75 high-resolution photos courtesy of yours truly, KC Leong.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: verdana;">Note: the advertisement (in between the posting) is inserted by Google which I have no control over them (and I could not disable them).</span></span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HbGawvzqmpI/X1m_96NeH0I/AAAAAAACRdc/OROI7fsj-ZsMmoyqewNPK3qm59iy3ZUwQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/P1410747.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="640" height="419" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HbGawvzqmpI/X1m_96NeH0I/AAAAAAACRdc/OROI7fsj-ZsMmoyqewNPK3qm59iy3ZUwQCLcBGAsYHQ/w625-h419/P1410747.jpg" width="625" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;">Entry point to the forest</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: verdana;">Trail head information:</span></p><div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">(1) In Google Maps, type "Bukit Raka Starting Point";</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">(2) Parking is just next to the edge of a housing area; as such, avoid blocking the neighbourhood;</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">(3) There is no toilet and water facility.</span></span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PvG6UavhfMo/X1m_9hT2WoI/AAAAAAACRdk/-JzYctcyoVcyKumGjvu4Pz8CWanqMN4dQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/P1410784.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="428" height="625" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PvG6UavhfMo/X1m_9hT2WoI/AAAAAAACRdk/-JzYctcyoVcyKumGjvu4Pz8CWanqMN4dQCLcBGAsYHQ/w419-h625/P1410784.jpg" width="419" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Trail A with the steep slopes ...

Happy faces at the start of Gopeng river white water rafting<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">White water rafting at Sungai Geroh, Gopeng is fun and thrilling when the raft rides through the rapids. Analyzing the photos, it is very easy for the rafting guide to capsize the raft. The instructions that are necessary for action to maintain balance of the raft are Forward, Backward, Boom Boom, Jump Jump, Hold the Line, and Stop. While the other instructions were straight-forward, "Boom Boom" means danger lurking and all are to squat low into the raft. When we were into turbulence water, we were stunt when the rafting guide shouted "boom boom" – we all paused momentarily, stared at one another did not know what to do.</span></div>

Hiking at Setia Alam Community Forest on Saturday, 4 July 2020 ... today, the trails are dry after a few days of hot weather. From Station B, we proceeded to the tower, then taking the long trails to the Mirror Lake. We managed to get a good spot today to brew our coffee right in the middle overlooking the lake. At the Mirror Lake, we saw a few triathletes practising their swimming. I heard someone asked "are they any crocodiles in the water?" We returned via a direct trail to Station B and returned to trail head.</div>

Hiking at Setia Alam Community Forest on Sunday 21 June 2020 ... Arriving at the trail head at 7:20 a.m., I saw the entire car park was parked to the brim. The contact tracing during RMCO at the trail head is self-administration: every hiker dutifully scanned the QR code by using their handphone before starting the hike. Because of the self-administration for contact tracing, hikers could enter the trails earlier then the 8:00 a.m. requirement.</div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Trail running at Bukit Kiara on Saturday 20 June 2020 ... The Kiara Hill was re-opened one week ago during the RMCO (Recovery Movement Control Order) for Covid-19. Since the start of the lockdown on 18 March 2020, it has been almost three months that we last ran here.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The entrance opened at 7:00 a.m. and each person must undergo temperature check, scanning of QR code using mobile phone or writing of particulars for contact tracing. The queue for this process was OK, about 10 persons queuing. I was informed by a hiker friend that the queue for recording of particulars at Wawasan Puchong was almost 100 persons this morning!!</span> </div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With the social distancing in mind, we have to constantly remind ourselves not to go too near to one another, and taking group photos has to spread over a bigger area resulted in smaller figures.</span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Running at Taman Tasik Permaisuri, Cheras on Sunday 7 June 2020 with ChongYF, Shu-Lin, Josephine Lee, Ivy Wong (and yours truly). There were many people exercising at the park at around 8am, and for the few of us, that was the first time that we ran at this park. Since we can't go into the trails (for hiking or trail running), exercising at the park is the viable alternative. </span></div>

Since the lockdown started on 17 March 2020, it is almost 3 months already.</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gunung Jerai (Kedah) hiking from 14-16 March 2020 ... this is a difficult trip to organize as it involved carpooling, and getting a driver that can drive long distance from Kuala Lumpur is not an easy task. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After months of planning and organizing with changes in the participants, the trip was finally proceeded as planned amid the scare of the Covid-19 virus pandemic.
