Aktiviti Memanjat Bukit Yang Menyeksa Batin


The weather for this past few days has been pretty sucky. Dekat Penang ni petang kompem hujan jadi macamana nak beriadah secara sihat di waktu petang? Takkan nak poco-poco dalam bilik.

Justeru weekend adalah waktu terbaik untuk mengqada' pengumpulan lemak sepanjang minggu. Kira one shot extreme lemaks burning session. Me and 3 other friends went for our second jungle trekking at the national park here.

This time around kita tukar route,ambik yang paling jauh sebab konon dah pergi sekali perasan macam seasoned pro trekker ke hapetah. Destinasi pilihan: Muka Head Lighthouse. Trek adalah melalui area monkey beach.

It took us sejam lebih sahaja to reach Monkey Beach. The trail this time was not as challenging as last time. Kurang sikit panjat memanjat.

Monkey Beach

Honestly,i didnt see any monkeys there (other than those 3 monkeys that i went trekking with tehee).

Disebabkan trail yang tak mencabar,bila sampai Monkey Beach haruslah timbul perasaan riak. Dalam hati kecil terdetik 'is that it?' lalu menggesa rakan-rakan untuk teruskan perjalanan ke arah rumah api yang berada nun di puncak bukit.

Sebelum naik bukit(perasaan riak masih menebal di jiwa)

Di kaki bukit ada batu penanda ini;

1000+ metres only? Mmeh i can sleep-walk up there

I forgot the golden rule. Whenever you are going uphill, times the actual distance with 3 billion. Inilah hasil dia;

Gambar semasa mendaki (perasaan riak bertukar sesalan)

This picture was snapped approximately 5 MINUTES after going uphill. I was panting like a raging bulldog on heat. Sebotol 100plus habis di sini. After what felt like 349 years of hiking, we arrived at the lighthouse in one piece.

There's this guestbook that you get to sign when you arrive. Signifying that you are one of the idiots who decided to torture yourself and made it to the top.

We went up the spiral staircases to this breathtaking view of the sea (and a little bit of Penang island)

-worth every sweat,tears and curse words

We spent some times up there camwhoring and eating sandwich sambil memikirkan nasib macamana nak turun bukit satgi ni weh..

-bukan ekspresi menikmati udara nyaman.Itu muka nak pengsan

-tuna sandwich sedap!

After considering few options like calling helikopter RELA untuk membawa kami turun (which doesnt seem feasible at that moment), kami akur lalu meneruskan perjalanan turun bukit.

This whole hiking experience is exactly like medschool. At first you thought you sure can make it to the top, then tengah-tengah you feel like quitting but you are already halfway through. When you finally on top you have to worry about going downhill pulak. Its an endless pressure i tell you.

Then we're back at Monkey Beach. Mandi-manda sikit sebelum balik.

Balik adalah dengan menaiki bot sebab dah separuh mampus naik bukit tak larat nak trekking lagi sejam lebih.

It was a smart decision sebab on the way balik tu baru perasan awan gelap menyelubungi kawasan national park. Cuba bayangkan tengah trekking tiba-tiba hujan? Fuuuuuhhhh memang nangis.

After this trip i dont think we will visit taman negara anytime soon. Sebab we've already tried every trail there. Jadi untuk aktiviti outdoor seterusnya mungkin perlu cari tempat yang lebih selesa. Gurney plaza anyone?
