Finally we reach the base of Gunung Nuang after stuck at traffic jam around 45 minutes.
Final packing beg before we start hiking.
OnnK... packing his heaviset begpack among 3 of us.
Mine begpack is done and add on a rain cover.
The bottom of Gunung Nuang. We need to hike from here untill the peak.Time average taken: 6 hours plus with begpack. 6 hours without begpack.
The first part of GUNUNG NUANG, easy 4 x 4 way, up and down journey... 2 hours.
the 3rd river crossing, on the way to Pacat Campsite. The trail getting harder and steep. The part aft kem pacat is almost 80 degree!!!
Carrying water at water point. onnKee busy there but me in taking picture mood. :D
Meet the another gang of Malay girls scout. Muslim need to pray 5 times a day, the bring their stuf and pray at the campsite.
we dint stop for very long time, our campsite is at the peak. Every1 is super duper tired~

Gunung Nuang is located between Pahang and Selangor state. Here is "Pahang"
Here is "Selangor"
"My" coleman camp. I am sleeping alone in the camp. Joston and OnnKee sleep under flysheet. hahaha... Alone is more comfortable in this 4 men Dom but super duper COLD at night!!!! Fell like hugging my piggy/panda doll to sleep... T.T
We finish ate the dinner. Too tire that time dint take the picture. Our supper is honeydew and beer (given by the others who camp at the peak with us).
Joston enjoy the beer very much!!! :DNight camp at Gunung Nuang at hulu langat. 1st visit of Gunung Nuang (might be last) for coming Gunung Tahan training. Super COLD!

Thanks OnnK...
DAY 2,i woke up the earliest due to the coldness, and I found the snail is dead on the top of out tent.
Awake and go out from tent. Lets check out what Joston and OnnKee doing now?
Sleeping and dead tired. Yesterday night we watch the night view of KL/Klang valley area, and stars + full moon, untill 11 smtg just sleep. OnnK is also tired due to driving.
Erm................ What I should do now? Make the breakfast for us, after they wake up they can have breakfast and we can ready to desent from peak.What for breakfast? Milo + Muesli (fruity + nuts...etc), is quite expensive. Lets see how good is it? And why we choose it?
Now u know why? It can recharge our energy in short time and is a kind of healthy light meal.
Next, preparing the chocolate drink. Early morning in the peak(1493m) is damn cold! Cooking make me feel warmer.
OK... the Milo is done, This is super thick Milo! I dint add on any sugar. I forget to bring the sugar and I accidentally put inside the car!!! Is my fault!!! T.TNext step: I need to awake both of them now.
This fishing knife is really useful for me. My brother give me this 1 year ago.
Done & finished breakfast. OK... Lets enjoy the view in the peak. The weather is good and cool + the view is clear.
My camera (Canon IXUS) is not "pro" enough to let u see Genting highland and many mini building from here. I am standing at "Pahang" state and Genting highland can see CLEARLY from here, where I stand.
I tried to zooooom in to shoot Genting Highland. But unfortunately, is not clear enough.
Sea blue mountain in the peak of Gunung nuang.
I feel relax when I see this.
Experienced the wild!!! there is a lake.
KL city view! yes .... We can see KLCC sand KL tower here.

Say good bye to Gunung Nuang 's peak!

The Berut, the flysheet and tent.Then we break the tent... Preparing/warm up and desent.
At Pacat campsite, a lots of bees in our t-shirt and begpack! I kena bite!
Bees everywhere...
And this is one I duno the name insect.
Bath and report again to the ranger office AND we back to KL.Joston is driving.
Me sit behind the van and RELAX............ZZ....zzzZ..............
Car park there got lots people. I guess they are doing final briefing before there start hiking.
After drop Joston, OnnK fetch me back. And my ONLY entertainment in the Van is ........................OnnKee dog. :DErm... What on my mind? A single, 24th years old this year + big strong and fit guy and his doggy, OnnKee is quite cute sometimes right? :p But sometime I just cant Tahan his car super messy!!!
Gunung Nunag is one of the most visit Gunung By X-youth team. But this my first visit of Gunung Nuang. And WHAT I disappointed for this mountain is we used the extreme fast speed to the top, and the first day of hiking was my period first day. ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHH!!! So suffering, I need to take pills, and I cant even go down to waterfall. But I agree with Alan and xinyan, is better come now rather than during 8 days in Gunung Tahan.
My leg cramp total 6 times in 2 days 1 night hiking. The descent part is so suffering for me. Leg and shoulders was injured. I know my limits. I cannot push so hard.
And yea.......... Sometimes, I just too stubborn to admit it...
The next day after come back from Gunung Nuang, I walk like a disabled. None of my body muscle is not painful. Struggling to wake up and clean my hiking stuf! My diet this week will be definitely eat like a rabbit, due to I target at 45 kg before CLIMB to Gunung Tahan, and 40 kg after Gunun Tahan. My aim too high??? Hopefully not.
Thanks Joston and OnnKee bring me there, there are good partner in hiking. Thanks X-youth Team for purposely organize this trip for me, I apologize for absent of gunung kutu intensive and aggressive training AGAIN, and my timing always not match with u all.
Gunung Nuang will be my first and LAST training before climb Gunung Tahan from 8 to 11 days.
Bless us and pray for us (for our safety and physical)!
Count down: 5 more days before Gunung Tahan!!!
Dear hiker: Are u READY?!
