Hiking at Bukit Agok on 20th June 2014

I have been planning to go on this trail for several weeks already, since I don't have a hiking buddy I had to reschedule the hike. 

This week I decided to go ahead and tried a new trail which I discovered from Sportstracker application. There were a few people who shared their hiking/hashing trip at Bukit Agok. As a precaution, I had informed my wife my plan trail and took general direction using compass direction to the beach (NW) and highway (SE) before the hike.

This was my original plan for the hike - from fellow hiker by the name of sharpshooter.

Me (as dot) on my planned trail (hahaha!!I'm really off the trail)

And below was what I ended up.. I did not use sportstracker to record my first half of the hike because I was using it to monitor the trail, when it was way out I decided to abandon my plan and just follow the hashing trail (white paper) and I went out from the jungle.

Turned on my sportstracker halfway, after I lost the planned trail.

@Bukit Agok - this site will be used for sighting of the moon on 27th June 2014.

Used M-16 shells littered the hills around Bukit Agok - it looks like a training ground for soldiers

Hiking at Labi trail near Biodiversity Center

A total of 9 hikers participated in our monthly group hike, this time Dinah helped to organise the event and we chose a trail along Jalan Labi (near Biodiversity Center). It was an easy 4 km hike where we crossed a few rivers and there was 1 hill slightly steep. We saw a few rundown facilities (rest area) along the trail indicating that it was a not a popular compared to Taman Rekreasi Sungai Liang.

Date: 15th June 2014 (Sunday)
Time: 7.30am-7:45am (gathered at Taman Rekreasi Sg.Liang - waiting for our guide)

Hiking at Bukit Shah Bandar - Bukit 1 to 10 (Menara)

I went for a short hike today at Bukit Shah Bandar because I had wedding invitation at 11 am. The park was pretty quite today, normally it was packed with hikers at the early hours.

One of the popular trails in Brunei for hikers.  Bukit Shah Bandar is still my favourite trails giving splendid views and panoramas overlook South China Sea, Kg Jerudong, Mc Farm Trail, MOF, MOD, Kg Rimba, JIS, Empire Hotel.
