Week 3, 1st Hike at FRIM Kepong, 11.01.2020

Hiked at FRIM, the syabas trail is mostly walk in the forest, and doesnt even require huge steps or hand holds, except for a small stretch where a cement path can be quite slippery when wet. The deeper you go the higher chance you will be ambushed by leech, therefore when the trail got much denser we stopped and turned back. There is a path way in the middle of the trail that supposedly leads to the botanical path according to other hikers which we asked for direction earlier. We didn’t explore it though.

Overall, the whole FRIM area is quite well maintained and you can notice that the landscape has routine grass cutting in the area that’s road facing and you can even smell the chemical fogging used to clear dengue breeding ground.

Had some chicken rice with plain rice (no oily rice!) for brunch.
