17/10/10: SH4 – Taman Agrotech, Batu 14 Hulu Langat
We arrived just in time again for the run and me Mrs was grimacing at the terrain that we had to go on but still she was determined to run it!
The start was on a walk towards the end of the road and crossed over the fenced area. I was at the back adding run papers for the back walkers. The run was on some abandoned roads and through some bushes. The start of the long climb was scenic jungle trails but many were ‘enjoying’ the climb with some ‘stop for scenic view’. We were brought on to climb one after another and it was one higher than the other! ‘Stargazers’ and ‘tree loving people’ were abundant, some were even ‘testing their breaths’ and ‘looking for something on the ground’ were seen every few meters forward. Finally, reaching the top, the trail went downhill and downhill till we reached the river crossing. The longer trail was cut off at the top for the back pack to do a shorter one and for them to enjoy the cold river crossing. Some took it as a nice resting place with a cool dip. Some were trying to maintain their shoes dry! We spent some 30mins horsing around there before walking back.
10/10/10: SH4 – Sungai Long
The trail was set on the left side hills from where we parked. The pack was to go through a zig-zag trail and uphill through the bushes till the top of the first climb. Me Mrs was way up front as I was at the very end doing some ‘sweeping’ duties. There were the few new comers which one guy was wearing a pair of slacks! We had to send him along with the turn backers after the first hill! Further up, we were on a familiar trail that has been almost long forgotten - the top of the flat bushy hill walk and then the steep downhill till the mushy bamboo growths trails. I wondered how me Mrs crossed here. Then we came to this gradient long climb, the new comers (2 ladies and another guys) were doing fine, as they have not experience this before and were ‘gazing stars’ while testing the trees’ strength. One lady fainted (Sue Ann) as she hyperventilated during the climb while the other man was way back as he rested on minutes after every few steps! We finally reached the top and heard the front pack at the bottom of the hill and on the opposite side, doing the home trail as we could get some glimpse of the clearing. It was all the way downhill till we reached the clearing near the run site. I did not keep track on what time we came out but me Mrs was out in an hour.
