Saturday saw a few of us head to Bukit Broga for some more pre Kinabalu training, but by the time we got to the first peak of the three, the dark rain clouds were already gathering, so we decided to make a hasty retreat before the steep trail became a muddy slip way.

As we only have a few weeks to go, we returned to Bukit Broga again on Sunday morning in time for Sunrise and had a lovely hike in the cooler morning air. As we ascended out of the mists just before sunrise, it was much clearer than previous visits, I presume an effect of the previous day’s rain. From the top we could even see the Petronas towers and KL Tower in down town Kuala Lumpur some thirty odd kilometers away.

As with every time we hike up Bukit Broga we met a selection of really friendly Malaysian people and had lots of chats with lots of happy people. So we have now renamed Bukit Broga, “Bukit Happy” or Happy Hill as pretty much everybody we meet up there is happy apart from a small selection of wacky people. This week’s Happy Hill Wacky award goes to a group of teenagers who had hauled an ironing Board, an Iron and a School Shirt up to the top of Broga to take a photo of “extreme ironing” they let Emma and Jen help out too, see photo. Then they were off to hike up some other hill for some more extreme ironing!! Crazy Crackers, but really friendly and good fun too.
