Activity 1/2011 - January 16 - Hiking the Longest Forest Trail in Penang

Our 1st activity of the new year 2011 started off with a different tone, it was not the usual road running like our bread n butter but a hiking expedition along the longest forest trial on Pennag island as planned by Andrew Loh.

This adventurous event attracted more than 40 runners including quite a number of guest runners. It was a beautiful Sunday morning when the hikers assembled at about 6:15am near the Botanical Gardens where a bus took them to the starting point at Taman Rimba at Teluk Bahang.
The route of the trail consists of Taman Rimba at Teluk Bahang -> Station 10 -> Laksamana Hill ->Western Hill -> Tiger Hill -> Penang Hill which took them slightly more than 4 hours to complete.

It must be a fascinating hiking exploration which every hiker enjoyed judging from the following photo albums:
