Mt KK - Via Ferrata - April 29 - May 3, 2009

Pixs are taken from Mountain Torq

This saturday will be hiking to Gng Nuang and up to Camp pacat, its part of the training that i organised for the climbers who will be joining me for the Mt KK climb on Aug 28 - 31.

Last Friday I sent an email to the group and ask who are keen to join me for next yr Mt KK challenge via ferrata where at the low's peak will be going down by ropes instead of the normal route. (Those who want to overcome heights, this is the adventure shd not be missed)

I was intending at first to take only 14 climbers but the response have been overwhelming now got 21 ppl who are keen to join me.

The dates April 29 - May 3, 2009. Tho' its next yr but to book accomodation at Laban rata have to be 6mths ahead.

The cost will be finalised when i back from KK end of Aug. as i need to discuss with the Mountain Torq on the cost.

Detail of the Mt KK via Ferrata will be posted later.

Many thanks to Ah Weng for inviting us to his in-law's

durian plantation.

Before heading ot the plantation, I met Ah Weng at the foothill of Gng Datuk, with the rest of the groups as the objective is to climb to the peak than makan durian.

Started at 9am and by 2pm all the climbers were down, fortunately its was raining when we went down.

As we head to the durians plantations its was raining heavily but cannot resist lah, as 3 bakuls of durians are waiting for us to makan.

IPOH Century Ride

Message from Carol

I did my 1st Century Ride last Sunday 13/7/08. Due to lack of training (only 2 weeks) I was targeting to finish only 70km but did 103.5km!!!! I could have finished the ride if is not for the heat. I was in seven heaven and surprised cos'the organiser were so kind and generous , they gave me a
finisher medal and finisher T-shirt!!! This is my 1st cycling medal and will aim for more to come.I was also one of the lucky draw winners (I won a head light for my bike) not bad ya for 1st timer???

I really enjoy the ride and scenery and am looking forward to go for my next training...
