NEW JUNGLE ROUTE FROM KUMPANG LANGGIR TO THE SITE OF ANPM KEDANG
A two-days survey (9th.-10th. Dec.2011) was carried to determine new jungle route alignment or direct short-cut from Kumpang Langgir to the site of the Prayer Mountain at Kedang Mountain complex.
Clearing and making the new jungle track into foot-path will be carried out tentatively between January and March 2012.
When completed the jungle-cooling-mountainous footpath will reduce the walking-time-distance from Kumpang Langgir to the site by half- that is from 6 to 3 hours in average by-passing Dusun Kedang.
The team spent the Friday night (9th Dec. 2011) in the Prayer House up the mountaion.
Below are some of the pictures
taken during the survey.
