Another Gunung Nuang Trip
Every week also must write about our trip to Gunung Nuang kah? HAHAHA
But this time, it's a hike with Son. It's his first time going to Nuang and we didn't plan any adventurous trip; just an easy paced hike up to Kem Lolo which is about 6K hike from the base and we planned to have a picnic there too.
This was last week. Mommy and Daddy hiked up to Kem Pacat which is another 2.2K from Kem Lolo. A steep 2.2K hike, I might add. Last week, Mommy and Daddy hiked up about 9K and 9K down.
This week, it was much lesser than that. A total of 13K done.
The morning started with Mommy making some sandwiches, with the help of her helper. ^^
We started our hike at around 9.15am. It being a long Chinese New Year weekend, there were quite a number of hikers and campers at Nuang on Saturday. A LOT of campers.
Met quite a number of familiar faces training too. Not so familiar too. Friendly nevertheless. ^^
We walked, we talked, he sang, he grumped, we hold hands, he kena marah, we climbed for 2 hours until we finally reached our picnic spot.
Spent an hour there, letting the kiddo play at the waterfall and ate lunch. Bumped into more familiar faces too.
Son was chirpier after the break at the waterfall and there was no need to cajole him much to finish the trek back to base.
It was a fun day out with the family. The weather was good and sunny. A tad hotter than last week but while it was a hot trek down, at least the trail was dry and safe that day. Wouldn't want a slippery, leech infested trail, would we? Especially not with Son tagging along. Not yet, anyway. He can have all the leeches once he (and we) is/are used to the trail. heh heh
Maybe we'll do it again during the school holiday? A hike up to Kem Pacat? Why not, right? :-)
oh, i like this, Gunung Nuang seems to be very fun.. and i am sure the Glam family had a great time trekking and also enjoying the picnic by the waterfall.. errr, still tarak nasi lemak?? hahahahaha~~
ReplyDeleteNasi lemak quite troublesome to bring up la.
DeleteSandwich better! LOL
Gunung Nuang is great for us. Not too many people like other popular bukits/gunung like Broga. Running buddies also can be seen here. :-)
i really like this boy!! he helped the mommy in the kitchen preparing for the food.. ah, what was he cooking there?? errr, sardine or something as the sandwich filling?? and there were also boiled eggs there, egg mayo?? hahaha.. i think Mak Glam can get this boy to prepare the sandwiches next time, and sure the boy will be even more willing to do it every time when the parents both say "NICE, we want this next time!!", motivation and encouragement dei~~
ReplyDeleteYup, he was cooking sardine.
DeleteHe told me the night before he wanted to help and he was already wide awake when I switched on the kitchen's lights. ;)
Very nice...hiking is really fun n it is a good family outing
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. :)
Deletegood to bring the boy to get close to the nature than to ditch him at home playing with electronic gadgets.. i think kids nowadays have enough indoor activities, kudos to the parents who are so active and love outdoor activities.. :)
ReplyDeleteI think both also OK. In moderation.
DeleteThat's why sometimes son got ditched and stayed home and play games and whatnot and sometimes he follows us.
Balance. Right, Uncle SK? :-)
Not only school holiday, can do it on weekend, right?
ReplyDeleteFor you fit people can la. ^^
DeleteFor us cannot. Schedule conflict is one.
Everyday out of the house, bila mau do revision, household chores and all also. Hahaha
No pacat? :D
ReplyDeleteDry weather = no pacat ;)
DeleteThe weather is getting way too hot. I prefer the cooler weather before the Chinese New Year.
ReplyDeleteWe seriously need more trees! It's not as bad being outdoors under shades compared to none. :(
DeleteNaik bukit turun bukit...guess it's the best time ti hike coz not many people
ReplyDeleteThe best time to hike if dunwan see ppl is weekdays ;-)
DeleteNuang crowd is not as bad as hills or mountains like say... Broga due to its difficulty. :-)
Raimie really great boy la. Matured for his age and kind. Good job mommy and daddy for bringing up such helpful boy.
ReplyDeletetenkiu tenkiu <3
DeleteGot waterfall ah..syoknya. Ahem got plc to change baju ka or behind the bushes. For boys ok la...but us...ahem ahem...angan angan nak gi but...haiz...Putrajaya tu waterpark pun dah 2 yrs aku NATO aje :p
ReplyDeleteAt the stream below got la...
DeleteIni part sudah masuk hutan, Hike up 6K at 5th most difficult gunung in Selangor, mana ada changing room or toilet. Got campsite area, meaning tanah rata to put up tent, the rest do behind bush la Meow.;-)
Another fun day with nature huh? =)
ReplyDeleteYup.
DeleteWanna make going outdoors and breathing fresh air a normal part of our weekend :-)
If your son, took photo, wrote a report in the scout log book, he can ask the scout teacher to sign his record book as one of the criteria to get Lencana Usaha. I gave many badges to my students when they did well n the Scout tests.
ReplyDeleteWe did ask him whether this trip is worthy of a boy scout badge (and he wore his pengakap shirt that day, some more! hehe) but he told us he wasn't sure.
DeleteWe'll remind him to go check with his teacher. Thanks Willie! ^^
In Penang I Kena conned into hiking up to Penang Hill when it was supposed to be a casual walkabout exercise at Botanical Gardens. My legs and feet hurt like hell.
ReplyDeleteI think Gunung Nuang is shorter but very much tougher and nicer environment! I hope Letchumy won't read your posts. Wakakakaka
