The last visit to G Angsi via Bukit Putus was on 23.9.2007 (http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2007/09/g-angsi-2392007_23.html). The forestry department has apparently erected new signboards and presumably, cleared the trail and planted tree saplings along the trail. Starting at 9.05 a.m. we took a leisurely hike to enjoy the flora, notably the fungi and mushrooms of various sizes and colours. We took about 50 minutes to reach Campsite 1 and another 45 minutes to Campsite 2 before hitting the peak 1½ hour later at 12.20 p.m. The weather was beautifully windy and cloudy.
On return hike we decided to be adventurous and took a left turn at the second Y junction. This trail, which circumvents the slope of Campsite 2 hill, is relatively flat and merges with the original trail at Campsite 1. We believe the trail, which is now overgrown with shrubs and ferns, is the remnant of an old logging trail. There was minimum tree canopy and it was certainly hot to trek in the afternoon sun.
We took about 2 hours to return to trailhead from the peak.

Different one...
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like a spider though... unless curled up in the front there's four more legs, but I have never seen a spider curl up the front two legs like that before...
ReplyDeleteDon't think this is a Cicada....
ReplyDeleteis it dead already? Normally spider's legs curled up when dead.
