Next Outdoors Activity: Jerangkang Falls

Nature & wilderness life come back. Searching for my outdoors stuff (bagpack, ponco, hammock, bla..bla) in store room. Alhamdulillah, its still there! After several years left with nothing, i get involved wit nature life -- hiking & camping. Started with Air Terjun Berkelah, Pahang me & 17 OCC (Outdoors Challengers Club) went there on 1st - 3rd March 2013. Its thrill and really challenge me. Watching my steps on rocks, i even fell down once then my ankle pain. Not wearing sandals, prefer on foot (luka sana sini, normal la..). Pity of Zam who volunteer to carry my bagpack (weight more 15 kg). This is real life of me actually, i love xtreme activities. 

Always pray to Allah SWT to give much strenght & another longer life for having so much fun.. if u love nature, u should grab some books about it.. enjoy reading..

"The rain forest floor has litter, but it is often a thin layer, rarely more than a few centimeters deep. If you brush it aside with your boot, an intricately interwoven mass of white threads will be revealed just under the surface. This pallid, tangled mass consists of the rootlets of forest trees and strands of fungal mycelia. And if you carefully trace the wandering path of a fungal thread from a rotting fruit or a decomposing leaf, you will often find that it leads to the tiny rootlet of a large tree. The root systems of the massive forest giants are bound together with lowly fungi in complex, mutually beneficial relationships. These relationships, known as mycorrhizal associations, seem to operate in much the same manner as do lichens, a familiar temperate zone symbiosis between fungi and photosynthetic algae. Each member of the association specializes in the production and uptake of different nutrients: the photosynthetic trees provide important sources of energy and the nonphotosynthetic fungi provide certain minerals."

Activity:

Our next destination -- JERANGKANG FALLS (Unknown big brother of Berkelah). Probably i could prepare some paperworks and plan on August 2013 activity.

The Jerangkang Falls can be reached from the KL-Kuantan road. About 30 km after passing Maran, turn left at a signboard 'Hutan Lipur Jerangkang'.
The road leads through rubber plantations and passes under the new KL-Kuantan Highway.
For the last part a 4WD is needed, but that may change as work is in progress on the access road.  Transport to the falls can be arranged from a nearby kampung.
