Wednesday's Anchovies

The 8 th TNF Trail Running Programme w as held on 15 November 2014. It was a monthly gathering kind event for a bunch of avid hikers in the Klang Valley. This time, it was at Taman Lembah Kiara. This is my first visit to the Bukit Kiara and according to the organiser, distance covered for the day would be around 4.6 km. The warm up session started as early as 7am followed by trail run. We were given some briefing on the route and were told that there were sweepers at the back making sure nobody is left behind. Along the route, we found that markings purposely left by the organizers few days ago were not in sight due to heavy downpour in the night before. What a pity as much effort put does not help. We finished the trail within an hour. It was an easy trekking. We were given post race drink and the third stamp on TNF Count Card. Hooray! With these 3 stamps, we are entitled to a TNF training tee for free! The park is well-equipped with facilities for public to do ...

27th September 2014, we are going to Saga Hill again. This is our second visit in less than two months time. We are joining the monthly hiking event organized by The North Face Malaysia. The assembly point is at the car park area nearby the Saga entrance. The hike started at 715am after the warm up session. Our hiking trail of the day. Ascending (Red arrow) via trail C and descending (Blue arrow) via trail A. It was a 2 hours leisure hike and the destination is Saga Hill rest point. The total distance covered is around 5km. The ascending is via trail C and descending via trail A. We took an hour to reach the rest point. After 15 minutes of rest, we started to descend. There are so many staircases in trail C compared to trail A. Some other group members having a quick rest while waiting for other participants to reach. The heaven route! Thanks to the locals for keeping the area clean and kept improving the facilities. Some simple gym facility. Thank...
