This is where the adventure begins.........
It was in December 2008 where we were working in Kedah Darul Aman. The task was to do tower top inspection at TMGR-BTGH 275kV transmission line. It was an hour journey from Bukit Tambun to Sg Karangan and the best part was there journey did not end there, another six hours off road journey was awaiting us from Sg Karangan to the destination. The land rover got stuck in a huge ditch caused by errosion and we had to pull it out before we could continue the journey.
Fortunately, with the help of the winch at the other land rover, we managed to pull the land rover out from the ditch. It was an interesting experience and challenging as well. The six hours off road journey ended at a hilltop and I was told if we follow the access further, we would reach Grik. I was suprised to know that we were at the Kedah-Perak border at that time. Unbelievable ah....
The wheels had been'rescued' after an hour being stuck in the ditch. Those wheels still look tough the journey in that challenging route.
Despite of the off road obstacles and the difficulties we had to face, there was a captivating scenery on the way back which was like a reward for our eyes after a long, tiring day. Hence, we made use of this great chance to pause a while to enjoy the scenery. It was a stream which would lead us to the Sedim Waterfall. The crystal clear water was like welcoming us and the water was very fresh and cold. It was the chance of a lifetime and we washed up ourself before continuing the journey. It was already dawn when we reached back in Sg Karangan. This experience is part of our itinerary and LLU would always look forward for more experience like this.
