Hiking... and mishap! 爬山，意外！

During my brief stay in Nibong Tebal last week, my sister (LS) and I went for an exploratory hike at TM Bukit Sungai Kechil Trailhead in Bandar Baru.

We tried to hike up the hill several months back, but the trip was interrupted by torrential rain.

This time, the weather was fairly good - cloudy in fact - this provided a much needed shed when we descent from the hill at later part of the morning. 

It was rated as an easy hike - suitable for all ages.

We left our house around 6.45am - parked our car at the road side near the paved entrance to the hiking trail. Only 2 other cars were parked there (probably other fellow hikers).

Hiked up a fairly steep paved road for the first 1km or so... panting along the way (no stamina)..

As we ascent, we noticed the sun was rising on our left hand side.

Walked further up... view of TM tower #2 (the hike supposed to cover 5 TM towers, if I am not mistaken).

The surrouding scenery was quite interesting...

But alas, as we were near the peak (I think), I slipped while walking on the uneven road paved with some sands... sustained abrasion on my left knee and right palm.

Decided it was time to turn back home!

As we descended from the hill, my sister slipped while walking down a slope, and landed with a heavy thud on her bums.... luckily no fractures! We managed to hike down and returned home safely!

上周末会老家探访病卧在床母亲。趁机在周日早上，到附近的小山去看看。网络上有人分享，此山老少咸宜，若碰上好天气，还可以观赏到云海！

爬上此山，开始步上陡峭的斜坡时，有点吃力，过后便没有那么辛苦。

接近山顶时，有几个分岔路，但没有明确的指示牌，得走些冤枉路才能步上“正轨”。

再接近山顶时，在铺满沙粒的黄泥路上滑倒，刮伤了左膝与右掌；最终得打道回府，无法前行。

还会有下次吗？应该没有了！
