Not so bad.
Drunken guides.
Still going up.
Moo and Aaron,weighing aprox 85kg each.
About this point our group started splitting up.
Grp1-The youngest,Grp 2-the twenty something,Grp 3-the 0ne who trained 5 months prior,Grp 4-the one who didnt train too much,Grp 5-the photographer and Grp 6-the XXL
people.
Everyone had a target time to reach Laban Rata except for me.My target was to take memories with my camera.
The track changes alot so you can never really plan for it.
km4.5.........no scenery to scream for joy yet.
1.5km to reach the crossroad of Timpohon and Mesilau tracks.
Better walking sticks(rm15 each).Worth every penny.Light,strong n folds into my backpack.
In my opinion,no need to pay too much for a walking stick.
In betweenKm4.5 - km5 the trees start to thin out.
I suppose if it wasnt cloudy one may see the scenic view through the trees.
Yeeeha!We made it to km 5 rest stop!
Nearly the whole team at km5 rest stop.Here we had our lunch.
Unfortunately for me,our guide had my lunch and my water.
So i had to mouse of others.Guides did show up later.
Km5 the temperature cools down.
The clouds started moving in fast.I got my windbreaker out at this point.
I still had my dslr camera and my video recorder with me.Afraid I was gonna get caught in the rain,I double confirmed with Aandy(my drunk guide) to make sure to pass me my poncho once it drizzles.
Gave him my ham and cheese sandwhich.
We pushed on resting 8mins at km5.
