Trekking up Gunung Cabang (1900 m) Sunday 25-Monday 26 March 2001

A total of 12 members came along for this trek , Dr. Chan and Lau from Taiping, Dr. Kiew from Sitiawan, Yip and 2 others, Mabel, Swee Cheng, Kok Choo, Ai Lin, Moon and Ng Chang Chai.
      We took a leisurely walk up the mountain and managed to reach the first camp site by 5.00 pm.There was insufficient space for everybody so five of us carried on until the peak. It rained after five and we were caught in the rain. Dr. Kiew can vouch that it was very cold up there. He shivered so much that he could hardly stick the tent pegs into the ground. Fortunately the rain stopped after 7.30 although the view from the top was obscured by mist.
      After spending some time the next morning enjoying the mountain scenery, which was still obscured now and then by clouds we trekked down and reached our cars by about 4.00 pm.
