215km Detour

Was going home on a Friday. Same old 30km, 30 minutes. But White Horse had other ideas...

Like taking the old road from Gombak all the way to Bentong. Cause the last time we only went as far as Bukit Tinggi. Fine by me.

That's the Karak Highway wayyy below... "It's for girls," says White Horse

You don't want to overshoot the corners here, White Horse...

And neither do you want to run out of fuel. Pitstop at Genting Sempah

That would be Selesa Hillhomes near Kg Bukit Tinggi

The whole road is ours, bro...

A short way off the main road found us this place... What a pleasant discovery!

Imagine a jungle with conifer trees... A bit out of place, no?

This fella very like to posing, I tell you

Not very common in our country, this kinda scene

The remainder of the journey to Bentong was rather uneventful, though... Hmm now that we're here, how do we get home? Not particularly fond of backtracking, I suggested you know, the Gap way to Kuala Kubu Baru...

Turns out I was mistaken... That route doesn't start from Bentong, but Raub... Plus dark clouds are forming... What the hell, just go with it la...

A very sore ass and n-kms later, here we are, the Gap (elevation 800m)! Due to my miscalculation, I wasn't sure whether to go up or not. And risk running out of fuel (there won't be any petrol stations until Kuala Kubu).

Yes? No? Yes? No?

The sign at the guard post said "GO", so...

 You see that, White Horse? The clock tower! We ****ing made it!

And the sun shines...

We do surprise ourselves sometimes, yeah?

Enough posing bro, time to go, we have cell group to catch tonight...

Not before soaking up some cool mountain air around the golf course...

Anyone remember THE PINES? I love this place

Kuala Kubu Baru dam, the rest of the way should be pretty familiar... There you go, a 215km, six hour trip home. Two hill resorts "conquered", two to go... Happy now? We may not be able to do stuff like this anymore in the future, you know...

Okay, you might think I'm losing it... I understand. =)
