Updated 9/9/2007 Sunday. Photo below taken from city 6/9/07 shows Mt Singai on left and Mt Serapi/Matang range on the right. Trekked up saturday morning at 10am with A/J and new girl Minah gang. Going up again this afternoon with A/J and Marcus.
Trekking at Mount Singai, 20 minutes drive from Batu Kawa bridge, Kuching, Sarawak. Catholic Memorial and Pilgrimage Centre (CMPC).
Wednesday 5 September, 2007, evening until it gets dark at 7.15pm (2pax A/B).
A short distance off the parking area at Singai, you will come to the 1st wooden flight of steps going up.
Walk a few steps and you reach a shed, great for rainy days. You can see the 1st prayer stop behind.
Best to do some warm up here under this roof. Still daylight when we start from here.
Quiet, serene, fresh air, greens, streams, insects, birds, Mother Nature.
If you can finish the flight of steps, consider yourself FIT. Slippery when wet.
Looking up at branches and filtered skylight between the leaves and branches.
Easy walk, a short distance from starting point.
Station V, about 30% up the height to church.
Guess what this is?
