Bukit Broga or Broga Hill in English, is less than an hour’s drive from KL and is well known locally a good place to hike and is easily accessible. So Friday being a holiday weekend in KL a few of us decided to go for a bit of Mt. Kinabalu practice and hike up the hill, well as it happens, half of KL seem to have had the same idea, we arrived at the base of the hill before 8am and there were already hundreds of cars strewn everywhere. So the four of us headed up the hill and shuffled along with hundreds of other heading up, thankfully for me there was lots of pausing to allow the sunrisers to come back down. I thought it was a bit more of a challenge than the reputed “easy hike” and when we finally got to the top we were rewarded with a fantastic view. However when I saw the sign on the top which said 400 Meters, I realized I’m in trouble.
Mt. Kinabalu is ten times higher and is only three weeks away here I am dripping like a sponge at 400ft. I must say I’m now considerably less confident that I will actually summit Kinabalu, but I’ll give it a really good run for its Money.
On the positive side, we hiked the Hills at Ampang on Saturday morning, which I used to find pretty tough only a few weeks ago and even with stiff legs from Broga Hill the day before, it was a handy hike.
Three weeks to go, fingers crossed.
