Hill climb at Sungai Buaya (part III)



Less then a week ago I went for an afternoon ride when suddenly I felt like going to the foot of this hill.



It was the hill I wanted to climb most at Sungai Buaya. But it looked like the most difficult and that is why I waited for some time before succumbing to the urge. Oh, my 4 plus year-old boy Rasyid was with me.


So there we where making the climb. I had to move slowly and carefully due to the condition of my leg. Hyper-active Rasyid practically ran up and I had to stop him many times for fear or slipping down the slope which could easily crumble.


The hill also looked the most prominent at Sungai Buaya. A look down towards the water reservoir where I had climbed up 3 weeks earlier but didn't mention in previous articles.


On to the summit. Rasyid was still full of energy.


Well, that used to be me able to run up hills like this without fear of slipping, confident of my ability to balance through any obstacle or pick up fast from any slip or fall.


A look from the summit.


Actually the top-most part is bushy. So I was standing from an open part nearby.


I decided to find another vantage point.


From there I went through the usual anti-clockwise many-angled views routine...




To the right you can see the hill I first climbed up at Sungai Buaya. Look at Hill climb at Sungai Buaya (part I).







Note the bushy summit from the said vantage point. It is just slightly lower but provide what looks like a more open vista.










Then we went down retracing back the route taken up.


It's while going down that I took a good look at the lower hill climbed closest to my new house. Look at Hill climb at Sungai Buaya (part II).For the record this is the 1,212th article in this blogspot.

Two weeks later I went up another hill, the closest to my new house which was then still under repair and renovation.


Zooming towards a certain direction one could see the much higher hill I've climbed two weeks earlier.


Actually right after that climb I went up the hill closer to the house.


But it was only this time that I continued to its highest part and started to savour the view from all angles...

Peace be upon you all. Feels like getting this off my system...


The broken leg I've suffered since late April last year has limited my moves for quite a long time. It was only 4 months ago or so I can walk again, even then supported by a walking stick. Since then I've entertained the idea of climbing some hills but held back for fear of aggravating the leg. Then I saw this hill close to my new house at Sungai Buaya, Rawang.



These pictures are dated January 6th 2014. I have yet to move to the said new house which was being renovated and repaired. After having a meal at a nearby restaurant, the hil caught my eyes so much that I must attempt a climb. Fighting all doubt regarding the still not 100 per cent full recovered state of the broken leg, I decided to have a go.



I can't run and jump yet. In fact I can't fold my toes without feeling pain. Still I walked slowly but surely up...





That's when I found out there were higher places to reach, places hidden from sight if looked from lower points.






Finally what should be the highest peak of this hill came to sight.




I just have to climb all the way to the top and savour the views, as usual going anti-clockwise...
