G Semangkok 1.8km+ elev

Been some time since last update
(last post was actually raya..... now is already Raya Haji)
>___<

Recently did another major hike at Gunung Semangkok with a few friends.
We spent 2 days to complete the hike (including camp)

First Day (7.5 hours)
Start - Pine Tree Peak - Twin Peak - Helipad - Sungai Merah Campsite

Second Day (15 hours)
Sg Merah Campsite - Semangkok Peak - Sg Merah Campsite - Twin Peak - Pine Tree peak - Start

7.5 hours on the first day and almost 15 hours on the second.
Yes, I know..... gila babi weyh.(0 0)
But, well, if you hike with the right group,
it's never a bad feeling. Gotta thank the trio who hiked along.

The worst thing is I got stung by a bee,
which followed with an allergic reaction. (1st timer)
Body felt feverish, covered with hives while
right arm & hand swollen like a pork knuckle. (YUM! hah)
Luckily, nothing serious really happen,
but I found that it feels more tiring with the allergic reaction on.

We had an encounter with an unknown creature
(was size of small car according to one of my mates)
The most creepy thing is this happened in the dark, 4am ish.
When you see nothing but shadows. Woooooo~

Stretch those muscles!


A misty day

The infamous cliff just before Pine Tree Peak, Starve-Me-Not in action.

Look so fluffy! I want a wall of those mosses! (minus the insects)

I call this the Forest of All Depression.....hahaha
