The first pondok(rest stop).You can throw away your garbage,use the toilet or have running water from the tap at all the rest stops.Water is harsh.
The first ascend on this trial.No guide was around to point out the names of mountains behind me but that is where we are heading.
Still in high spirits.No guide in sight.
FYI,this is the 'scenic' extra for the Mesilau trial.
The first descend.......and so we got to repeat this up and down another 5 times to get to Laban Rata.
1km awesoome!
Down on your knees!
.....down down down even before the up.
nice root.
When you get to the bottom of the down,you look up and theres the other up.
Serious jungle flora and fauna people.
This is approximately the beginning of kilometer 2.
