Hightlights of Mt Ophir Trip III (Final)

2009-12-15T02:33:00.002+08:00

In this final highlight of the trip, the unit spends some time bonding during the cultural part of the trip in Malacca. But before taking our bus to Malacca, we managed to spend some time cooling off at the waterfall! Nice refreshing change to trekking in the hot sun.

The waterfall which was a less than 10 minute trek from the resort.

All the proud recipients of the certificate of having completed the trek of 1276 m up to the summit of Gunung Ledang.

In front of Mahkota, the nice service apartment that we stayed at in Malacca.

After spending the night in Malacca, where we were treated to nice Peranakan food & given some time for our own shoppng the night before, it was time for our cultural tour of Malacca the next day.

After a quick lunch, it was time for us to return to Singapore...

And thus marks the end of our expedition to conquer Mount Ophir, where we gained much more than just reaching the summit, but along the way, learnt many precious lessons that will hopefully come in useful in many years to come.

Highlights of Mount Ophir Trip II

2009-11-27T23:20:00.002+08:00

After all the garang-ness, we had to brave the rain (being in the MIDST of a raincloud :P), and make our way to slightly lower ground, where we were sheltered from the incessant cold winds of the summit.

At the lower ground, thanks to our vendor, we had the luxury of eating bread and sausages (taken from our breakfast in the morning at the resort :)) in the middle of the mountain. Water was also being refilled into the bottles of cadets who had emptied them on their climb up to the peak.

Then, it was time to make our way down the way we came up...using those ropes and ladders at the snakes-&-ladders stretch of the climb..

More photo-taking opportunities along the climb down as it was steep and treacherous, thus, there was sufficient waiting time for the whipping out of cameras for nice shots like these.

We didn't go down the entire trail that we climbed up, but instead veered off onto the service road at one side of the mountain to make our way to our campsite.

The beautiful view from the mountain..

Us, on a big big rock, with our backs facing the summit of ophir.

The landmark of the summit of ophir.

The long walk down the service road down to our campsite..where at every turn of the road, you'd think that you have reached, but alas, it's just another turn on the road..

The reservoir beside our campsite. We made it!

Instructions from CSM on where to set up tents for the night..

~Dinner~ Not exactly "field-cooking" as most of what we did was boil water for our instant cup noodles/milo/coffee. But nevertheless, still an interesting experience having to do stuff without a brightly lit environment and having to rely on torches and lamps.

After dinner, was a good time of reflecting on the day's climb, learning important lessons from it, learning how to say "Thank You" & accepting a word of thanks graciously.

Was an eventful night at the campsite, coming into close contact with forrest ants (10 times bigger than those tiny ones what we have in our houses) , leeches, and even a snake! But thankfully all went well, and we got whatever rest we could before our final descent down the mountain.

Day 3

Nice feeling being at the same level as the clouds

We tried group warm-ups. Took a longer time than usual, but interesting.

Long walk down...

Continue to watch this space for the third and final highlight of CHS NCC(Land)'s conquest of Mount Ophir...

Highlights of CHS NCC(Land) Mount Ophir Trip 19-22 Nov 2009

2009-11-24T13:57:00.001+08:00

DAY 1

At the foot of Gunung Ledang, more commonly known as Mount Ophir which stands at a height of 1276 m tall.

The bunks for the first night.

First activity: Flying fox in the jungle

Learning how to wear a harnest.

While waiting to take flight!

"Tippy Shuffle" : Objective of activity is to rearrange all 28 people standing on the 3 planks according to a pre-stated category without falling off the plank. For eg. in aphabetical order of everyone's names.

It was a squeeze obviously..

..but a good time of bonding :)

Next up: An activity of wits, teamwork & strength - Poison River.

Aim: To get everyone from one side of the "river" safely over to the other side, without anyone falling in.

Mode of travel: 4 Planks (+ 2 ropes).

Planks can only be placed either parallel or perpendicular to each other, no diagonal planks allowed.

Brainstorming...

Lotsa teamwork required..

The group who got "left behind" on a lone plank so that most of the group can cross to safety first, before they were eventually rescued =)

Last stage of the rescue!!

Debrief after 1 hr plus of being on the planks =)

We were eventually shown the "model answer" as to how to most efficiently control a plank when trying to move across...very useful knot-tying knowledge required.

First night: Preparations for the next day's climb...

Our day packs of rations and water.

DAY 2: THE ACTUAL CLIMB

Getting ready to board the bus to take us to our trail.

At the foot of the mountain, all smiles and raring to go!

But before that, warm-ups to reduce our risk of getting cramped muscles during the climb....and....we're off!

Checkpoint 1

Checkpoint 2

Checkpoint 3

Some parts of the hike required the use of ropes to scale up surfaces.

Phototaking opportunity at a nice open space :)

Super tiny little "river" stream-crossing. Don't be mistaken, Ophir has more exciting rivers, it's just that our route didn't cross any of those.

The final push before the summit, snakes-&-ladders..a part of the route which has many barren rock surfaces and steep steps, thus the need for the ropes and ladders to aid in the climbing.

CHS NCC(Land) unit, at the summit of Mount Ophir, 1276 m above sea level.

(full grp picture with other photographer, akan datang ;) )

The drizzle and wind made the summit really cold...but that didn't stop us from....

...proving to be the most garang unit by knocking it down together! :)

More highlights coming soon...akan datang..
