Gunung Datuk @ 1th May

1st of May is the labour day and we are all discipline citizen that follow the government rule that "not" be working on the labour day and went for a short hiking trip on Gunung Datuk, Rembau.


I slept at 3.30am on the night before due to David's unfinished ARMS.. anyway, still able to wake up at 5.30am before the rest of the hiking mates (Shirlee, Yen Erl, Jee Ing, Mei Chien) reached my house at 6.30am. We leave home at 6.45am and meet Kelvin and Ann at Senawang toll at 7.30am.


This is my 2nd time up to this hill and already set the expectation that it will be tough and steep in the beginning. I start with a more relax pace this round and take my time to hike to the top. Very fortune that Kelvin join us for this trip and he volunteer himself the be the sweeper and take care of the slowest hiker :)


Ah Tze and I take around 1 1/2 hr to reach the peak and the rest reach within the next 1/2 hr. It is misty on the peak this time and can't see much view and most of us afraid on going up the peak as we need to climb through the steep rock. Again, need to thank to Kelvin again who help all of us to reach the peak.


Going down is always the most difficult part of this climb as going down the steep rock really hurt our knee. Yen erl and tze are expert in going down hill now after the every weekend training in Gasing. Ann and I were pace together and after a few slip and fall , we slow down our speed and were very careful while going downhill .


All of us reach the car park by 2.30pm and we proceeds to lunch at Seremban. It is an enjoyable climb and all of us enjoys it especially Shirlee and Jee Ing ** .
