Nope, this is not camping santai. hence, i didn't really invite the rest of the usual pack.
Mula2 taknak pegi pun...lepas camping tuh, terus nekad nak pegi. Pastuh tag c syed and tanya c anas.
hmm...dua2 ikut jugak. okla ada member..

After work terus blah pegi PETRONAS gombak for dinner and tunggu the convoy members.
mak aiii...depa neh ikut jam brazil agaknya. Janji jam 8. Jam 11 baru gerak.
tapi memandangkan kami neh ikut convoy orang, duduk jek la atas tar tuh.lepak.nasib baek aku tak duduk atas highway.

Mulalah sesi berkenalan dengan is Zil, bro Aero, Sis Mimi, Dal, Amyz, Shima, Fiza, Pijon, Ani, Ciwan, Khalid, Sofian to name a few tak termasuk guide (dan anot2 yg ada)..hahah

I think Modt people tau Abseiling tuh apa..tapi canyoning? This is from Wikipedia.

abseiling

Abseiling (from German: abseilen meaning "to rope down"), rappelling in American English,^[1] is the controlled descent down a rock face using a rope; climbers use this technique when a cliff or slope is too steep and/or dangerous to descend without protection.

canyoning

traveling in canyons using a variety of techniques that may include other outdoor activities such as walking, scrambling, climbing, jumping, abseiling, and/or swimming.

In our trip, we abseil down the rock in below pics. Untuk aku yg gayat, awal2 mmg payah nak pujuk diri tp bila dah dok bawah tuh...ok la....sikit.


Yang canyoning plak...hampeh...aku mmg taknak buat dah masa tuh...kena psycho dgn Syed and Anas..so, last2 buat la...


well, at least aku dah buat. ko ada?

We started convoy kat Gombak sampai Berkelah. Park keta kat area restoran tuh.
Ada nearby Masjid so bleh tumpang bersihkan diri and tukar baju.
apa buat sini? Kemas barang and bahagikan barang sama rata. Barang apa?
Barang dapur especially. MAKNANYA, peserta pun kena bawak sebab tukang masak dah x cukup tgn. Pastuh letak beg dalam lori, jalan gi Pintu masuk Sg Berkelah.

Pastuh bila seme dah sampai, lepas briefing and doa (penting tuh), trekking started. Since jalan basah, ada gak ornag terpeleot la..tp x siyes. tp jalan agak mencabar. Kalau tangan tak free (aka bwk barang), susah sikit nak gerak. Headlamp a must ye. gelap. dalma hutan kot. Bukan BB walk neh.
Trekking took about 45 minutes.

Then sampai campsite.naikkan khemah (aku & syed bwk khemah sendirik), pastuh tido jap.

Area Masak

Kul 7 dah bangun sebab nak book tempat bersih2kan diri, Kami yg pompuan neh panggil "sesi jangan pandang belakang". hahah..faham2la...tepi sungai kot..manade toilet mcm kat Chilling & Teluk Batek...then after breakfast, continue with Abseiling & Canyoning.

Wa memang cuak.Tak dapat dinafikan. cuak seyyyyyyy....tapi yg penting, dengar briefing, follow apa guide cakap and insyaallah, everything's gonna be ok (eventho selepas ko hempap guide..hahah).Yg penting, guide hot2 dude.tak caya? klu ko ada add wa kat FB, lu tau la...hahah..

Lepas setel, lunch then, lepak la...pe lagi...bercerita, berkenal2an, berlompat2an, dan bertiduran pun ada...

masa camping, ada jugak hujan. kalau single layer, mmg tapaula khemah tuh..

2nd day aka Last day, pagi tuh pegi trekking ke atas. Waterfall Berkelah neh ada 7 tingkat. Kami camping kat 3rd kolam kot..ye ke...ada mausk paper hari tuh..gambar dak2 neh sommersault pun ada..
tapi neh depa bwk group lain la..

tgk pix suda...trekking 45 minutes jugak..one way oke..brp lama kat atas,terpulang..ikut berapa lama korang nak lompat, berenang, bericnta masa trekking dan ikut jgak berapa lama bersajak pantun segala...wahahahha...yela..maklumla..dah kena tinggal dek kawan2 yg kata awal kata "kita jaga group kita, jangan pecah".choyy...

petang dlm 3pm, trekking turun bawah TAPI ROUTE LAIN. x sehorror route naik...adoila....best...
balik convoy gak tp tinggal 5 keta...singgah R&R Temerloh je...pastuh jumpa jap kat Tol Karak & Gombak then pecah..

biasala..setiap convoy mesti ada ups & downs..ada kelebihan & kekurangan..tp kita terima seadanya as experience...lagi2 bila ikut group orang..kita ikut rentak..ok anot2 sekalian?
