Group photo before the start - check out the tools we brought! |
The last clean-up I did was in
2014 - with Leave No Trace objectives in mind. This round, my hash
walk group, Evergreen, decided to do something out of the ordinary walks and hikes. I had proposed SACF as the hash walk destination last month - Pete added on the clean-up idea after our chat group revealed a clean-up exercise (separate event) done by a member. Today we realised that clean-up mission.
Our main target is the route MOU > The Wall > Masterpiece > Peak Garden, and we discovered the big chunk is the area near the base, or trailhead.
Personally, I was worn out from today's trip, partly due to yesterday's hike at Gunung Hitam. I have reserve energy but it ran out when I and a few did the heavyweight of grabbing, pulling, carrying, dragging, and transferring the big pieces. And loads of them...
Below are photos from our "expedition..."

Rather than dragging one by one, we piled them up a one spot |

The dumpsite we located quite near the junction turnoff |
After clearing the forest enough to reach here, I soon took up the role to man this spot - and haul the big pieces from the forest's connecting trail (temp) to this final destination.

At the Peak Garden |
Peak Garden is the local name. It should be interesting to know that the official name, as per RSO map, is North Hammock (Bukit Pasir) - 226m. Part of this Setia Alam area here were formerly known as North Hummock Estate - one would notice a little spelling disparity with the peak's name - "hammock".

The last haul. SS Tan and I took turns to transfer this to the dumpsite. My parachute cord put to good use. |
