Janda Baik for the Fourth Time.... 14th July 2007
After quite a long break from any outing, and with Romeo's persistant to go out, plans were tentatively made to go on an outing. It seemed so long ago that I last went offfroad.... March this year... about four months of hybernation! And the 'break' I had taken was for a good reason... I had broken my LC's front-right shocks during the Ice Mountain excursion. It wasn't until Romeo alerted the group of this outing that i had it repaired... less than a week ago :)
A friend of mine, Rizal has been wanting to join
Gugujah on an outing for as long as I can remember since I got meself
into this 4X4 thingy. So, when he called and set the date, I agreed
after consultation with other Gugujah members. So, the 18th Gugujah
outing was set to take place on 14th July. From Gugujah the now four
cars while Rizal mentioned he will have two other rigs joining.
And we sort of agreed to re-visit Janda Baik... So Janda Baik it was as our destination....
So there we were ~ eight people in three rigs ~ looking for adventure... I had my three adik ipar (May, Nuar & Zmie), Romeo was with his eldest son while Rizal was accompanied by Bob, a mechanic...
Anyway, signs of challenges already greeted us as we made our way to
Janda Baik. Firstly, Rizal's rear-left tyre got punctured while we
were still on the NKVE. That alone has set us back by a few hours.
Though we left home around 7:00am, we only reached Bukit Tinggi after
11:00am! Romeo was already sulking as he had to wait quite a bit - the
only conslolation was that Whiskey was there accompanying him (and to
see us off). So, after a quick coffee at the usual coffee shop nearby
BP in Kg Bukit Tinggi, we were off. It was almost noon then...
