I started to understand what did the sayings mean by trying on the same thing, same place,repeatedly but everytime, they will get a different output, because every visit to a same moutain, there are different challenges and suprises awaiting which will lead to a different story, this make me sighed about how awesome and amazing our mother nature is.
Some said Gurung Irau is easy to climb.
G.Irau ,which is one of the top ten highest in Penisular Malaysia, my two times visiting, which the first attempt, no heavy bagpack needed to be carried til the second visit with bagpack along, it is still considered as a challenging trip for me.
Much of the trek has been destroyed by hikers boots,along the way to peak are eroded treks. Thus it required upper and lower body strength,involved a lot of scrambling and climbing over trees and roots. It was draining physically, not to mention bout the bruises and cuts,cold weather at night,etc.etc.
Mentality part plays an important role either as thinking is needed for each step, I guess while walking and climbing, the word that mostly came across our mind was 'How? how should i continue with another step. For the first timers, you guys are really awesome!!!
Highlight of the trip was, the weather was fantastic the whole entire time we were hiking. Brilliant sunshine and warm temperature plus a clear night view was adding on a credit to the trip. This was the best experience among all other trips Ive been to. The weather gods totally pulled through for us!
Its a memorable trip for me. I personally learnt something new, somethings different from the trip. Im sure for many members are the same too. The entire trip, from trying to walk through the deep mud pits, exposed roots, walking with insufficient preparation, on how to keep pushing ur mind through to continue with step after step, cooking despite the extreme tiredness....etc.
Beside sacrificing the golden weekend to stay at home, muscle pain, cuts and tiredness, for sure there must be some value lessons have been learnt too that worth noted while recalling back the whole process.
Still the same, everytime when I left the trail I felt like a different person. And I liked that person better than the girl that had started the trail.
Big thankyou for our Trip Advisor- Ms Lim, Trip leader -Siew Ting, asistant Trip leader -ChianNii, BeeSuan and Group Leader-Adrian. Thanks for the priceless effort that have been putting in into this trip which is the first open trip for 2011. And not to forget, thanks to our drivers too.
