Broga Hill - Easter's midnight hike

It was a fine starry Saturday night.
We were having supper at the usual Mamak stall.
Nick brought it up again : night hike. He was a free man that night.
Mike agreed almost immediately !
Handsome need to get up early the next morning….. I challanged him …..,
And so it was. 4 guys to Broga Hill at 12midnight !
We reached Broga at 1am.
Equipped with touch lights, staff of steel and an i-phone, off we went into the darkness of the jungle !
Reached at the 1st peak at 2pm.
Can’t blame us.. We were taking our sweet time. The air was cool, with the scent from the blooming durian, sound of insects….

Sky was bright, from the light of the city.

It was dark in the wilderness. Clouds started to gather. Stars were none to be seen.
The moon was hiding behind the clouds.

It was not as windy and cold as we anticipated.
As clouds were gathering, we started descending at 2.45am…. try to get to the car before rain.
Reached car at 3.30am.
Reached home at 4.15am. Went to bed without shower ! Too tired, too sleepy…
