Cub Scout Jungle Trekking (FB)

article by Izzy Jr #1
... a summer holiday writing project

November last year, our cub scout had jungle trekking activity at the Mac Ritchie Trails. We walked into a deep jungle. The weather was a bit wet... it drizzled during the first hour. The walked was 9 km and we managed to complete the walk within 3 hours. We had to climb hills, walk on a tree top bridge and crossed rivers.

There were lots of animals and insect in the Mac Ritchie Trails. The animals we saw include birds, eagles, turtles, bugs and even monkeys.

The tree top bridge is about 200 meters long. You can almost see the whole jungle from the bridge because the tree top bridge is even higher than the jungle trees and near the top of a hill. Luckily most of us were not afraid of heights! After the bridge, we walked in the jungle again.
Then, we saw a viewing tower called the Jelutong Tower. We went up there to enjoy the view and had a snack and drank water. We completed our walk before noon.
