Bukit Kutu

ohoiiiii blog!!

ha ha ha ha. okay kali ni betul punya bukit kutu. lepas abang cerita yang kitorang sesat sampai ke bukit rajah, maka ada kawan kawan  yang baik hati lukiskan peta untuk kitorang on how to get to bukit kutu. and map untuk ke gunung rajah pun ada dik. this time around, i have learned my lesson well, maka abang tak makan nasik lemak walaupun nasik lemak tuh sangatlah sedap dik. then again, abang tetap akan senyom dik. 

we arrived late dik. really late kut rasanya. we decided to park a bit further from the kaki bukit. my stomach not only has butterflies in it but elephants, sea lions, walrus all together in one place raging a war inside. I was nervous, kept on asking myself would I be able to arrive at the peak. from the parking space to the kaki bukit it is about a kilometer. i would recommend hikers to park their cars here and a kilometer walk can be your warm up. 

we were on the right track when we crossed one i would say quite a wide river and another one small river. we took off our shoes and get into the water to cross the 'big' river but you actually can hop from stones to another (carefully of course!) to get to the other side. 

all the picture below, is when you have hiked half of the trail. we stopped for a while to take a breath and selfies of course. the sight on that was fine but i didnt have the chance to take more picture. next time may be on my solo trip. For now the focus is to practice for Kinabalu. After Kinabalu I will have my hiking trip slow and steady to enjoy the scenery. nak rasa pulak macam mana hike sorang-sorang. kalau ramai-ramai nih abang selalu merempan dan menghencap buat kelakar. so memang tak rasa sangat penat iyer nyers. 

hah ini namanya Batu Tedung. Astagafirullah dik, dia tak susah tapi challenging sahaja. kat sini ada tali temali that you need to use to assist going up the rocky trails. but you can opt not to use any of them if you are strong enough to lift your asses up. 

after 2 hrs and 54 minutes, we finally arrived at the peak! farking hell of a hike. on average normal people will take 4 to 5 hours to climb uphill but we manage to do it in 3 hrs. okay okay I understand we are not in a competition but we are proud with our achievement. yes, it isnt about the timing but it is the journey when you climb the mountain or the hill. well it depends on one's goal. if time taken to arrive at the peak matters, hasten your pace. if journey is your goal, take your time (but beware, too much of resting time will tire you easily) to enjoy the scenery. 

I underestimated water supplies somehow. a week before that i brought two 1.5 L mineral water with me and a small bottle of 500mL. tak habis and this time I just brought 500mL of Ribena and a small bottle of mineral water. NOT ENOUGH for me.

okay this is subjective somehow. you need to know your body. i am the kind who cannot drink too much when i am doing exercises or workouts. some people need a constant hydration throughout the workout. get to know your body mate.

ha ha ha. okay selfie time people! we work hard to arrive here.

okay this is the highest peak. you need to climb these ladders to get up there and yes it was pretty scary. you really need to be extra cautious stepping on and up the ladders. get a friend to hold these ladders. yes of course the ladders are sturdy and tightly tied to the rocks.

we stopped nearly half an hour here and looking at the sky, it was about to rain. Ichi macam artist dah macam macam kawan lama dia ada jumpa. kelas kau dik. 

masa nak turun tu abang punya battery phone pun habis. maka tak dapat nak record our time untuk turun ke bawah. i estimated our time is about slightly more than 2 hours. slightly sahaja with few of us tergolek dog. ha ha ha but we are all good. 

That's us masa nak balik. we plan to scale Gunung Rajah pulak. wish us all the best!
