GOTMAD 10/6 Challenge 2018

The 10/6 Challenge

Ok, so this is how it's going to be done. Ten peaks (less than 5,000ft each), 
in six months.EASY.
At the end, you get a medal and we'll have a big party at an outdoor retreat.

Now before you dismiss this challenge as "too easy" or "not a real challenge", I'll tell you why it's easy. The challenge is intentionally easy so anyone can do it. Anyone who has "never had time", was always "too busy", or just plain never hiked before, can join.

This challenge is also exclusively for women.

Why is it only for women? We are inspired by strong and capable women and we want to celebrate how far we've come in life and how much we can achieve.
We'll encourage each other to reach every peak.

Here's how the challenge works:
1- Over six months we'll finish ten hikes. The hikes will be on weekends or long weekends.Some of these hikes may require camping equipment.
2- The climbs are ranked from easy to hard. This is to encourage beginners.
3-There is a fee of RM200 for the entire challenge (ten climbs). This will cover the cost of printing shirts (of course we must have official merch!) and shaping medals from dragon hearts (shiny medals!). We'll also pack light meals for everyone on some of the hikes. Any additional costs, including permit fees per trip, additional food, will be borne by the participant.
4- We can only take up to fifteen people per trip, so sign up fast! 
Closing date is 7th April '18
5- To sign up, send an email with ( Name & Contact details) greatoutdoortrails.got@gmail.com

TRANS BATU PUTIH

Trans Batu Putih (Kuala Woh - Pos Musoh) (4d 3n) Rating: 9/10 (Hard)  Batu Kak Peak (1,848m) Batu Putih Peak (2,132m) Batu Bujang Peak (1,922m) Batu Dara Peak (1,447m) Gunung Batu Putih is the 8th highest peak in Peninsula Malaysia (West Malaysia) standing at 6,993 ft (2,131 m) above sea level. It’s situated along the Perak-Pahang border, not too far from KL. It falls just short of being a G7 mountain (7,000 ft and above).  We planned this as a little family trip, so my fiancé Popoi, youngest brother Haikal, and I joined another group. The Team GOTMAD-WILDOUTDOOR ADV-PMGM This week was a little stressful with work and everything, but the group and guides were a friendly and (Wardah, Yana, Dhia, Kuzam, Amir, Panjang, Zack) and the guys from Wildoutdoor ADV & PMGM Paklee and Boy were helpful and resourceful. I highly recommend anyone to join them.  We met up at Kampung Masjid Batu 3 Tapah and parked there before hopping into a 4 whe...

Mount Chemerong, Mount Berembun, Mount Langsir July 2018

From the very beginning, CBL was a trail I wanted to conquer. The combination of breathtakingly beautiful  sights, combined with its reputation for challenging hikers of all abilities and the 3 day 2 night duration were all factors that intrigued and excited the hiker in me. The trail known famously as CBL or Trans-CBL comprised a trek across Chemerong Waterfalls, Berembun Mountain and Langsir Waterfalls. A quick hashtag search on Instagram will very quickly tell you what I’m talking about when I say it’s a beautiful trek -- visually, that is. A dream come true! To be completely honest, when G asked me to join her on this trip I was afraid that I wouldn’t have the stamina to withstand the hike, which was comprised of many unforgiving steep sections. As we embarked from KL to Terengganu on the provided transport, I was both excited and nervous as the group had decided that we would push through 10 straight hours of hiking to reach Langsir Water...

Mount Mat Chinchang / Gunung Mat Chinchang

Image
Mount Mat Chinchang Apart from Gunung Raya, Gunung Mat Cincang (there are many other spellings, but this is the least complicated) is one of Langkawi island’s tallest peaks, at 709 metres above sea level. It’s where the famous cable car is located, at the upper northwest side of the island. Both mountains are firmly rooted in island legend, a story of the ultimate ancient bromance. Once, there were these two giants, Mat Cincang and Mat Raya. They were the best of friends. Their kids got married to each other and at the wedding reception, these two dads got into a fight. They went all out and started throwing household items at each other.   During the fight, a pot of gravy fell, creating Kuah town. A bowl of hot water fell and created Ayer Panas, and a jar fell and smashed into pieces, where Belanga Pecah is today. It’s great that in those days you could just throw things or do random things and create towns. I don’t want to know how Batang Berjuntai got its na...
