Broga Hill Expedition

Hello guys! Its been awhile right since my last post (probably half a year)? This time its not gonna be a long one from me too. Just that I really want to share my experience with you guys about my Broga Hill Expedition.
So, lets begin… it all happened on a fine Sunday early morning. (really early )… 14th July 2013. After gathering, we finally set our destination to the famous local tourist attraction, the Brogal Hill located in Semenyih. Since its our 1st time going to such place, we didn’t know the exact location of the place and we have to rely on the GPS to bring us there. Its actually quite easy as there were signboards along the road side once u reached Semenyih. A few more km after University of Nottingham, we were there already.
Cut the story short, we started trekking at 0500 in the morning. It was an easy hike as it doesn’t requires any difficult climbing. We finally made it to the so called ‘top’ at 0630. It was a less than 2 hours hike only. We had a magnificent view from the top and its just so beautiful. There were a lot of other hikers who already reached earlier and hanging around. The weather that day was super fine. Although it drizzling rain a little but most of the time its very windy and refreshing. We stopped and hang around at the top for quite long. Busy with photo taking and cam whoring. Lol.  
So, that is a short brief bout our Broga Hill experience… But for you guys out there who interested to conquer the hill urself… here is some friendly reminder or stuff I would like to share with you all..
1. Torch light / head torch
    if you are going early in the morning, its kinda dark and its safer to have a torch light to torch ur way up to the top. But no worries, if you really forget to bring ur torch light, there will be a lady who sell torch lights for visitors who wanted to hike the hill. (we ourselves bought 2 torch lights for RM10 each).
2. Good comfortable hiking shoe
its important to have a hiking shoe to ensure the comfort of ur feet when u hike up to the hill… if u don’t hv a hiking shoe, a pair of good bottom grip shoe also advisable as the track can be quite slippery. So, safety 1st.
3. Comfortable outfit
Its going to be a relaxing hike, so i would suggest to just wear something comfortable and easy to move around. its not going to be very cold so i would suggest to wear shorts instead of the long track bottom pants.
4. Drinking water / energy drinks
keep urself hydrated throughout the hike. Coz u guys gonna sweat a lot and its important to drink more water or energy drinks to keep you going.
5. Camera
of coz you don’t want to miss out the moment upon reaching to the top or taking pictures along the way. Beautiful scenery and memories together with friends hiking that hill must be captured. As we always said, leave nothing but foot prints, take nothing but pictures…

All the best and have fun folks!! So, here by enjoy some of the pics I took for you guys aite? Lol

Hi folks!

For this expedition, i went bought a new pair of hiking shoe. Just to ensure my comfort and safety. 

car park fee is charged if you gonna put ur vehicle in the oil palm plantation. RM2.00... not that bad.. its an income for the local community though.
