JOURNALS
I
have been in GERKO Kembara (an Outdoor Co-Curriculum Club)IPDA for a few
years. We have gone to many places; for caving we went to Gua Kelam, Gua
Wang Burmah in Perlis, Gua Telinga in National Park, Gunung Keriang in
Kedah, for jungle trekking we went to Gunung Jerai and Gunung Kemerlong
in Kedah, water-based activities we went to Pantai Merdeka, Lata Mengkuang,
Tasik Pedu/ Pedu Dam in Kedah, Tasik Meranti (not Tasik Melati!) in Perlis,
for backpacking and camping we trailed to Pulau Tuba, Pantai Tengkorak
in Langkawi, Bukit Wang and for cycling expedition we went to Puncak Janing
(after 8 hours of cycling).
All
these activities are wonderful and very challenging. It strengthen the
trainees mind in becoming independent and reselient. Furthermore, with
activities such as abseiling, blindman's trail, etc.
As
for my personal satisfaction climbing Gunung Kinabalu is a memorable experience
as all in my life I never stop for a deep breath after 10 steps of walking.This
happened at the top of Kinabalu....Low's Peak.
 My experience at Gunung Kinablau is exciting. The wind was colder than winter in UK.
The granite at the its peak is sharp. It is worth to climb again.
|  It is an experience of different kind in The National Park. Foresty?
Caving gives you some fun....wriggling your way through narrow passages, crawling, wading neck-deep water, and finally grasping for air.
The reward is the splendid work of art; the stalagmites and stalactites.Hope someday you will join us; appreciating the environment, internalising the beauty of nature and enjor life to its fullest. BACK
