Going up Bukit 300 in Lumut - Part II

Continuing from Going up Bukit 300 in Lumut.

There is more to climb after the highest pylon.

Along the way I went up and down two peaks which according to the contour map in the hiking apps are above 320 metres high from sea level.

This is about the same height as the highest peak designated as Bukit 300.

It is upon arriving at a junction with this signboard that I realised I have passed what is designated as the 3rd peak first followed by the 2nd peak. This is because I started from a southern side of the hills instead of the popular path from Teluk Batik which is close to the north.

Soon my apps showed I have arrived at Bukit 300.

Bukit 300 simply means Peak of 300 metre high from sea level. This signboard confirmed I have arrived.

So did this signboard.

Another signboard says the peak is actually 325 metres above sea level. The designation Bukit 300 is  just a simplication of the fact.

Along the way to return to where I started did I only noticed that the other two peaks are also marked with its own signboards.

Earlier I only noticed the words saying "permanent reserved jungle" in Malay. I failed to noticed the words "Peak 2" and "Peak 3" above the big signboards. 

Going up Bukit 300 in Lumut

Peace be upon you. On to the 3rd day of the recent Perak trip.

Monday morning 21st October 2024. After spending the night at the Lumut main mosque I headed for the hill designated as Bukit 300.

I wanted to climb to its peak via a path I caught sight of about a year ago.

With the help of Google Map and a hiking trail apps I managed to find the trailhead and follow through.

But then I found the trail ends at this pylon.

Checking the hiking trail apps I found that I have overshoot a junction. I retraced my steps and got back on the right trail.

Soon I reached the highest pylon.

Look around from under the pylon...

Nice waterway at Kuala Trong

Peace be upon you. More from Perak.

Sunday 20th October 2024. After spending the night in Temong I went to visit a number of places in Kuala Kangsar. Then I went to Taiping before heading for Lumut. On the way made a stop at Kuala Trong where I caught sight of this place.

I have been to Kuala Trong at least twice before. 

Oh. Trong is also spelt as Terong. Look at these old articles:-

1. Visit to Kuala Terong

2. Further foray into Kuala Terong

3. Views from a floating structure at Kuala Terong

Yet it is only in this new visit that I noticed this waterway...

In the earlier visits I passed in front of some buildings to get to other parts of Kuala Trong.

This time I also passed in front of the said buildings.

Except for the first time I felt like looking behind the buildings.

That is when I found this nice waterway.
