We managed to get round without going wrong once, a fairly remarkable feat considering that our map was a few photos of the guesthouse map on my camera and the signposts were haphazard to say the least, indicating at one point that we'd covered half a kilometer in a minute.
We started off walking to Robinson falls, which weren't that impressive to be honest especially after Nepal, but at least not completely full of litter like the Parit falls we saw later.
We were then soon scrambling up a steep slope, swinging up using tree roots at points. This took us up to Gunung Berembun at 1812 metres after about an hour and a half.
After a classy Pringles and coke lunch it was down the other side and though the whole walk is through think forest,after about 2 and a half hours one gets to a particularly beautiful where you have to clamber along paths of twisted trees and roots that in the late afternoon is wonderfully cool and atmospheric.
A stop off at a look out tower precedes the aforementioned Parit 'sewage' falls and back to Tanah Rata.
We over-ordered at dinner once again, though our 4 dishes and drinks at a curry house came to 18 Ringgit which is less than 3 quid. I now blame Szilvia for making me fat (see above) as I've put on lots of weight since she arrived and I started eating nice food. In the evening I had a rare treat of watching a bit of EPL, the English Premier League with a couple of cold beers.
