This round, we are not going to conquer Gunung Nuang in one day, but we are going to camp 1 night at Kem LoLo. I brought along a tent which I got from BonusLink using the points redemption.
We reached the Nuang entrance around 9.30am. After we parked our cars, we quickly get our stuff and get ready to start the walk - 'The Never Ending Road' - by 10.00am.
We took close to 2 hours to reach the last rest hut near the river. All the guys carry about 17kgs to 19kgs of loads. This has slowed us down. Some more, it starts to rain half way through The Never Ending Road. So, we got to take a rest at some of the huts. We expect it going to rain but not so early.
Some of our backpacks do not have rain cover. So, we got to use plastic bag as a rain cover. I'm using a huge rubbish bag as a rain cover for my backpack... haha...
We reached Kem LoLo about 1.00pm and we quickly setup our tents. At that time, the rain has stopped already.
This is my tent. The cover says it's a 2-people tent. However, it just enough for myself and my backpack.. lol...
Luckily Lew bought a tent, same as mine. Else, I really dunno how to share my tent with Lew.
This is a 4-people tent - occupied by the 2 girls.
After setting up all the 4 tents, we cook some sardines with onions and eggs. We ate it with breads as a simple lunch.
Around 5.00pm, we went to the river to bathe. The river is nearby to our tents, about 15m from our tents.
The water is very cold as it was raining earlier on.
We 'lepak-ing' at the river for almost 1 hour. Then, we went back to our tents and quickly prepare our dinner before it gets dark.
Here are our dinner - Choy sum, canned curry chicken, luncheon meat, potatoes, eggs and paku-pakis and rice off course.
We start eating around 7.15pm.
After we have washed and cleaned up our stuff, we went for a short jungle walk around Kem LoLo with our headlights. We even tried to setup fire. However, the branches are too wet. Anyway, we went back to our tents after it started to rain cats and dogs around 10.00pm. I didn't get a sound sleep probably because I don't get use to camping life... lol...
We woke up around 7.00am something the next day. We had sardines, red beans, fried eggs and bread for breakfast.
At 8.45am, 5 of us decided to hike to Kem Pacat and summit. The other one is staying back to look after the tents.
I took about 2 hours to reached the summit. We didn't stay long at the summit because we need to rush down as one of our friends got to rush home to attend wedding dinner. We rested about 15 minutes at the summit.
Luckily, I didnt wear my usual Admiral hiking shoe because we expect it going to rain. I wear my cheap and trusted... Kampong Adidas shoe.
After we had our late lunch - instant noodles - we quickly removed our tents and pack our stuffs to go back home.
Ninja's pose... =.=
Finally, we say bye bye to Kem LoLo and we left around 4.00pm.
