The next TRAKS Trail Day at KDCF will happen on Sunday, 12 July 2009
We are now beginning the construction of Phase 2 of the trail, which will involve a further 2-kilometre loop north east of the existing trail along the main ridge of Bukit Permatang Resam. Based on our initial recces, Phase 2 will be quite spectacular, going through old growth forest that escaped being logged due to the steepness of the terrain. Please join us for the next Trail Day at: 8.00am, Sunday, 12 July 2009. The work that we will be doing will involve cutting a corrider to mark the alignment of the trail and earthworks to establish the trail tread. The tools of choice will be parangs, rakes and proper changkuls. Saws and shovels may also come in handy as a second tool. Sturdy shoes are recommended - no flip flops please. And of course mozzie repellent (preferably DEET-based) and enough water and trail snacks to get you through a four hour work session. - If you are coming from KL, head northwest through TTDI towards Ikea. Join the LDP and pass 1 Utama. Take the first exit after 1 Utama for Ikea, Ikano, the Curve, etc. onto Persiaran Surian. Zero your odometer as you leave the LDP. - Follow Persiaran Surian west towards Kota Damansara. At 2.7 km you will pass a large collection of shoplots on your right, at 3.0km there are traffic lights, turn right here onto Jalan Mahogani. - Follow Jalan Mahogani until you reach Jalan Beringin at 5.5 km, turn right here. - Follow Jalan Beringin to 6.2 km and park here. Kota Damansara SMK Seksyen 10 is on your left, the large shelter for Kota Damansara Community Forest is on your right. Please call Joe on 019 756 8246 should you have any questions. |
