Gunung Nuang

Trail running and trekking at Gunung Nuang on Saturday, 9 Jan 2016 ... we were surprised that the trails were dry despite the daily evening rain in Kuala Lumpur. It was a sunny morning with the blue and cloudless sky. After Kem Lolo heading towards Kem Pacat, it was windy and dry, a sign that Chinese New Year is around the corner. With the sweat and breeze, it was very cooling; and Dphany and Lana even have to put on the windbreakers at Kem Pacat. The next best thing was that there was not a single leech!

Eric Wong, Khoo Ban Yu and a few aspired to go the peak, while LimHY would target to do Kem Pacat twice (from car park); the rest would just arrived at Kem Pact and spent much time relaxing in the stream at Kem Lolo.

After a few trail running events having been staged at Gunung Nuang, the trails were wide and clear - good for all difficult levels of training. I saw not less than 10 trail runners having their training there in solo.

Apik Hill Clearing with Pylons

Trail running and outdoor workouts at Apik Hill Cheras on Saturday morning, 19 Dec ... the outing started at 8:00 a.m. and only ended at 1:00 p.m. The clearing in the photos are for erecting of pylons (for power lines) that cut across the lower hills. 

One day, we may call it the "electric trail" or Shock Trail. Overtime, that might become Siok Trail. Just like the name of Apik Hill - not "uncle" as in Bahasa Malaysia. We were told that it is a white hill as "pek" is white in Hockien.

 Is there anything up there?

 Group workouts along the rest stations

 Taking a breather ... the hammock is good for resting in a hot afternoon 

 At Saga hill station ... from here, the group descended and then ascended Saga hill en route to waterfall

 Having a good splash with the refreshing cold water

 Lots of water flowing at the waterfall with the rainy seasons

 Yana doing outdoor workout at Station 3A where membership is free 

Lana with impromptu version of The Thor

 Shu-Lin with the golden hair  

Emerging from the trail, we have to pass by the clearing. Without the trees, we took a wrong path and ended up in a area where we have no idea where it is. After wandering for 500 meters, we have no choice but to backtrack to the trail.
