An exploration team comprises of 12 members via two vehicles began a journey at 7.15am on Sunday 7th June 2009 heading to Kedah after breakfasted at Batu Lancang, Penang. This trip was initially planned to be a half day’s hiking trip at the Sedim Recreation Park visiting the Tree Top Walk which was claimed to be the longest canopy walk in the world. However, we were deeply disappointed after taking a 950 meter’s walk through the ‘bridge’ where there was nothing more than admiring the sight of the forest. Thus, we have to entertain ourselves by making fun all about and snap-shooting all around. The only attractive part in the park will be the cooling river which makes most of us feels like saturating ourselves in it.
We have had few fishes for our lunch after traveling through a long distance of minor alley-ways deep into the ‘forest’ (one can never imagine there will be such a restaurant and ponds deep inside the woods). The meal was indeed scrumptious except being surprised by having some fish wrapped by incredible amount of fats beneath its skin.
After enjoying our lunch, we proceed to our next destination which was quite a distance away and took us more than an hour to reach- the Ulu Legong Hot Spring. We enjoyed both the cooling stream and the temperate hot spring, nonetheless we were almost burned by the extremely hot weather (memang kisiao, went for a hot spring soak on a scorching hot day in the afternoon -.-”) It was almost 5.00pm after enjoying the hot spring, thus we decided to proceed on the returning journey. Before we move on to Autocity to have our dinner, we manage to stop by the Mengkuang Dam to have a stroll. Though the dinner we took wasn’t that delectable, nonetheless the ambiance and pleasurable chats is believed to have compensated any dissatisfaction. Last but not least, thanks everyone for the cooperation and making this trip a success.
