First day .
View after a 6 hour trek looking over Long Pasia and Long Mia. After 6/7 weeks of hot hard grafting we end our remaining weeks on an adventure!!! Alpha 9 set off to Long Pasia with Bob and Franco 'legends!!'...... After a fantastic night with Ronleys family eating fantastic food we head into the jungle for a 7 day trek...6/7/8 hours a day with our weeks supplies on our back...It was awesome. Hanging up your hammock between two trees in the rain(its ok skin is waterproof!!!!) was interesting especially the first two nights where I slept in a pubble but the longer it went on the more practice we got ...now of course i am a legend at stringing up bashers(after i got over my fear of parangs..) The trek at times was pretty up and down (the terrain!!) the sites were beautiful and eating mouse deer and monkey was interresting. The feeling of living in the jungle was amazing ...degfinately an exp[eriance id love to do again..
Diving in Mamutik Island..... 5 days diving , completing my PADI open water... Very chilled five days ...sun , swim, dive,football, rain, coconuts ...I think the pictures will say it all.
Crocker Range - 'Utan Paradise', The Crocker Range was very cool -
we had a lot of fun building steps down to the river where potentially a tourism destination a trail has been built for tourist to go and swim in the waterfall. Again it is a beautiful location and to be honest we had it pretty good there.
Mount Kinabalu - What a climb - I was dreading it more than anything but it turned out to be brilliant - its all about pacing yourself. We set off about 1 in the afternoon ...oh I need to add in our fancydress but i wont explain just look at the shots. It took me and Jo 3 hours to climb to the lodge which is pretty good for me i must say and bless Jo she was really Ill. We bedded down for a couple of hours and set off again at 3am to reach the top at 5 so we saw the sunrise. It was freezing up there but beautiful and a pretty hard climb at that time with a headtorch.
