Earth Day Camp Out @ Gunung Nuang

EARTH DAY CAMP (18.04.2009) - PART 1

Hello all ADP students! ITS SUMMER!
Hope everyone had a great holiday and is ready to get back into classes for another round of pounding by the lecturers ^-^
Well let the Fayette House start by refreshing our memory on what we did for EARTH DAY 2009

CAMPING @ GUNUNG NUANG

DAY ONE
Everyone gathered at SEGi College Subang Jaya at approximately 8am ready to dirty their hands for an awesome camping trip.
We reach Gunung Nuang which is located in HULU LANGAT at 11.30am and the first thing we did was not rest.... We had to set up the TENTS!!!
With direct afternoon sun atop our head, and an empty stomach, we wasted no time to put up the tents which we will call home for a night.

That is us, setting up the tents under the sorching heat. But it was all worth it ^-^

After setting up the tents, we moved on to our next activity which was HIKING!!!
We split into 2 groups.
The first group took a 2 hour steep hike up to a waterfall.
The second group took a 30min jungle trek to a river.

Yours truly, the writer followed the first group to hike up 2 hours to reach the waterfall.
The beginning of the hike was fun. We started hiking merrily, talking, singing and enjoying the view. Also, being the crazy and fun loving ADP students that we are, we also spread our joy to other hikers there by saying hello to everyone.

However, after 1 hour, it was very obvious that the group has become increasingly silent. Everyone was getting tired...very very TIRED from hiking up the STEEP slopes. We had to make constant pit stops by then as many were moaning and asking "are we there yet?"

FINALLYYYYYafter 2 hours of sweat and leg muscle cramps... we were greeted by our reward which was a fantastic COLD waterfall!ahhhh the blissful clean, cold and refreshing waterfall

We spent almost and hour there just enjoying nature at its best. No air pollution, no noise pollution and no water pollution.
With heavy hearts, we had to pack up and start hiking back down as the sky was getting dark.
But before we leave, as always there will be some customary photo taking session.
