Our base camp, stayed here for 2 night. Heavy downpour cause the water to flow forwards my tent, and wet. Can't really sleep at night, one my tent is wet, second very cold. The temp is around 20 degree, and we can see vapor sometime when we talk.
这是我们的大本营,我们在这里住了三天两夜。一直下大雨,我的帐篷内都进水了,潮湿并且冷。两晚都没睡好。当时的气温大概廿度,讲话时可以看见气温喷出来😧💨

THE WHOLE JOURNEY TOOK 3 DAYS
=================================
Day 1, hike from village to basecamp, 4 hour. We build camp there, and start to cook for dinner.
Day 2, hike from base camp to Kanyi summit, 2 hours 45mins to reach the summit, temp around 19 degree.1574 m above sea level. Stayed there for 1/2 hour and decent again.
Day 3, Pack our stuff, and hike about 3hours 30mins to reach the village, and go back Kuching.

AFTER THE HIKE
=================
Mount Kanyi is the tallest peak in western Sarawak, above 1500m elevation. And the mount I climed is called the Berumput Mount range.

During my decent, I'm carrying the same amount of stuff, my clothes, and tent. But it add in more weight because all the stuff are wet. So due to the heavy backpack, my left knee are extremely painful, and I hope its not a permanent injury, cause still a lot of mount waiting for me to concur. 

Over I had fun in this trip, a lot of leach bites, nearly bitten by poison snake, wet and chilling weather, vapor from pee and breath, what a jorney. My dear reader, please stay tune for my next adventure, until then see you in my next post. 

Cheers :)

三天两夜的登山冒险记
====================
第一天:四小时,从村庄步行到大本营。我们在那里扎营过夜,吃晚餐。
第二天:两小时四十五分,大本营到攻顶。山顶气温十九度。海拔1574米。我们大概待了半个小时,就开始下山了。
第三天:开始收拾,然后步行三小时回到起点。

后记
=====
刊亦山峰是砂劳越西部最高点,海拔1500米。位于草山山脉的其中一个山峰。当我下山时,我的行李比我上山时重了一些,因为这俩天的连夜雨把行李都弄湿了。

就是背了这样的重量,我的右膝盖非常的痛,我希望这不是永久性的伤,我还有很多山要爬的。

这里也是被很多的山蛭咬,伤口到处都是。也差点被毒蛇咬 😦
天气很潮湿,很冷。开口说话可以有蒸汽,小便也是有蒸汽。。哈哈哈。很难忘的探险活动。

What's up Wilson! Love your stories and it feels good to find someone who is hungry to explore our backyard. I'm doing the same initiative to document the less visited hidden gems of Sarawak and I'm starting around Kch - Bau area.

I would really love to join your Gunung Rumput Expedition. I've been on an expedition to Mt Kanyi on October 2016 but it was unintentional since the original plan was to go for Mt Rumput but somehow the guide tricked us saying that Mt Kanyi is actually Mt Rumput (We found out later when the ranger at Forestry camp explained to us the real location)

Let me know if there's an extra slot for a hungry adventurer like me. Thanks!

The Bung Jagoi Heritage Centre Hike and the Bung Tesen Peak Viewpoint

With just around 320 meters above sea level, the Bung Jagoi it's one of the most family friendly trail available in Kuching. The trail is super easy to hike, and suitable for children and old people, a good weekend gateway. Not to forget it also has a very nice viewpoint on the summit peak.  And if hiking is not your cup of tea, you can also bring your family to the waterfall, just a few mins hike at the base of the mountain.  There is a big parking space for your car, a few ringgit per car. This is a restaurant, and we paid our entrance fees here. They also offer daily tour package, which includes food.  A friend of mine bring his 70+ years old mother and two young children to hike together, and impressively she made it to the summit.  A waterfall trail just below the mountain. Good for children, as I know my children like to play in the water more than hiking to the summit.  Very clear water from the mountain.  view along the way to the summit A souvenir...

But they only allow 4WD car to drive up, because some section are steep. Safety concern normal ca...

Camping at Pugu Beach Lundu Kuching

Pugu Beach situated at Lundu, after Pandan beach. Drive all the way up you will see road sign showing where is the beach location. Its a long stretch of beach, which lead all the way to the river mount of Sungai Sebako Besar. My friends and I decided to visit the place, and stay at the resort hut which we paid RM50 per night. Pugu Beach is about 7.11km long from bukit Gondol. The day I visited, was a hazy day. Partly due to the heavy burning on our neighboring country Kalimantan. A panoramic view of the Pugu Beach, the view are very nice if you are at the top of the bukit Gondol. A small hill on the other end of the beach. Enjoying the time hanging out with my buddies. Long time did not meet up with them, and camping together with them. Hope in future, we can have time to go for adventure together, just like old time. This is a simple resort hut, they also have a toilet and washroom. But they don't sell food, so we have to bring our own food and water....

Mount Hosanna Chapel with Wilson Chin, Borneo Sarawak

This is the Mount Hosanna Chapel, while on my way back from Sri Aman, I drop by this place, and it is located about 157 KM from Kuching city (near Seri Aman), Malaysian Borneo. You can see this chapel just beside the Kuching - Sri Aman highway. What interesting about this place first is the design of the chapel, and second will be the story behind it, and it goes like where God spoke to the philanthropist who funded the church construction and healed his wife which is diagnose with critical illness. When I meet one of the chapel members there, and asked about this, he deny this. And told me that this is not true, and it was the priest himself who raise the fund to build this chapel. So I walk up to the chapel, and visit the place. Saw a priest is currently blessing the members. The building looks like three big candles,  it means Trinity. In Christian doctrine, the Trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead ...
