At the last minute, I decided to go to
Gunung Datuk on Saturday instead of Sunday as planned. At the last minute notice, I managed to get my fellow
Taburians to join me, even though they have already got other plans for the weekend. Thank you very much for joining me.
We started hiking at 7.50am passing through all the too familiar areas like the above small dam!
As usual about 40 minutes later we reached the first check point. This time around, I must say that I struggled a lot to complete the climbing. I realised that my back injury hasn't
recovered as yet. The heavy back pack (not so heavy
lah, around 7 kilos I think!) had slowed me a lot. I felt the pain on my back and it ran through my hip and my calves!
Nevertheless, I reached the peak 1 hour 5o minutes later. At the peak, we had a pleasant surprise, our '
chipsmore' friend, John was already there. He camped there the night before with some friends to trace the trails of the Yam
Tuan! We had a good time catching up at the peak of
gunung Datuk!
It was planned for, we wanted to have fun by putting on our
baju Raya and have some
Raya cookies, as though we were visiting
friend's open house! We really had fun. We put on our
baju Raya, much to the amusement of another hiker who nodded in agreement and quickly we started snapping pictures. The weather was good, not windy and not hot. Since it's still early, the peak was ours to enjoy!
On the way back, I had to ask for help from my fellow
Taburain to carry my backpack. it's too much for me. Thank you
Azinda! And I had no problem at all
descending from the peak and we reached back the starting base at around noon!
I really had fun and I don't mind
coming back here again next
Raya!
