TOUGH BUT FUN!!

I have earlier spoken to Jimmy about this Hye Keat route to Penang Hill before. We were supposed to explore the the path with our motorcycle. Anyway, Simon, Kok and I started from Hye Keat Estate at 9.00am.

All the way, the terrain was quite steep, the track ranging from 1 to 2 feet width and on cemented track. One good thing was the whole journey was under the great canopy of the forest, it protected us from the hot sun. This is very unique indeed.

We stopped quite often for photos and enjoyed the scenery, we took a rest at Penang Hill Tai Su Yar before the Middle Station.

The router became more challenging, all the way up...steep plus lost of corner, track width went down to 1 or less than 1 foot before reaching tar track near the bungalow, took us almost 3 and a half hours, and another 20 to 30 mins of tar road to reach the Penang Hill food court.

We stopped for around an hour for food and waited out the rain.

Here are some of the photos taken:-
