Besides the remaining eight KPAC members,four more trekkers joined us to Kem Lolo.They were Leow Chin Huat,Ms Leong Yoke Peng and two more friends whose names were not given to me.
There is a beautiful waterfall at Kem Lolo and some of us could not resist to take a dip in the icy cold pool.Such a wonderful experience to enjoy a morning bath out in the jungle!
Later except for Ms Chi,Lee Foo Kien (nursing an injury) and the four new friends,the rest of KPAC members pursued ascending towards Kem Pacat.We were lucky as there was no rain the night before.Even though there were steep ascents and slippery paths along our journey and the climb was tiring but we went on to persevere with it.
Thick undergrowth,huge roots,fallen trees and tributaries also prevented us from increasing our pace.At 10.20am we reached Kem Pacat and took a 20 minutes break to catch our breathes.
The climb continued at a leisurely pace,admiring the beauty of mother nature,its inhabitants such insects,birds and arthropod.
It took us another two exhausting hours to reach our destination.At 12.30 noon finally we made it to the top.A peaceful summit at last,far away from pollutions. We were rewarded with a magnificent view of green rain forest and it was worthwhile our climb.
We spent almost an hour there by snapping lots of picture of the superb scenery and had our lunch break there too.Despite many already been there before,we still feel important for carrying our KPAC banner along and spread out proud there.
It was truly a tremendous experience for all of us.
