Venue : Pengkalan Gawi, Kenyir Lake, Terengganu

This time i was seriously under-trained! So, i went there just to finish the race, while enjoying the nice Kenyir Lake scenery & the kampung view there :D

As expected, did a quite acceptable timing, 3:30. Congrats to me for surviving my 3rd Kenyir Tri!

Difficulty level : Medium High
Height : 4048ft

2 mountains climbed within 1 week ;-)
Gunung Bujang Melaka is located at Kampar, Perak. If you’re from KL(south) you can exit the highway through Tapah exit. At Tapah town, turn right to Kampar. The RV & start poin is here: http://g.co/maps/cqyvr , in front of the mosque. From there, a pickup jeep will fetch you to the trailhead.

Went there with my BERNAMA friends who loves outdoor activities. Although i’m already 5 years left BERNAMA, we’re still keep in touch.

5 hours took to reach the main camp site, Kem Lebah. The climb a bit steep, but not as steep as Gunung Nuang. But with a heavy beg at the back, it make the journey harder, challenging & of course tiring. Its a lot different from my favorite sport, running. This is more tiring for me :P

Air Terjun Batu Berangkai, located before the trailhead

Final preparation before entering the trailhead

 

The trail, this is pure forest...

 

My hiking bag, the portable stove was tied at the back, a burden for me :P

 

Taking a break at the first camp

 

View from my small 2-man tent

 

This is where this campsite got its name. A lot of bees here that loves your sweat, yes sweat... Seen here is a bee sucking my sweaty cap

The usual night activity during camping, chit chatting

 

At the peak of Gunung Bujang Melaka on the next morning

 

The beirut

 

The small water stream near our campsite. This is the only water source for us to drink, cook & bath.

 

Water so cold to bath but so refreshing!

 

Another view of the stream

 

So peaceful & serene here

 

Other part of the stream

 

On our way back, while resting by a small stream.. feel so peaceful here seriously

Gunung Bujang Melaka, done!
