Ulu Yam trip

[coriolis]

Ok guys, remember the talk about the Ulu Yam trip last weekend?
Here's a lowdown on the trip itself:

When?
Tentative to be on 4th weekend of August (22 or 23rd).
Time not sure, I suggest sometime around 9 (right after breakfast) for meet up and then convoy up there. Give a bit of this and that and it will be just right for lunch.

Why?
- Winding roads = great for driving. what we're here for right?
- 30 mins away from KL , suitable for 1 day trip on some weekend.
- Superb view on the way and at the top. Cameras please.
- Nice natural waterfalls, Ulu Yam Lake, Batu Dam = photography opportunity!
- Plenty of parking bays
- Famous food: Loh Mee, Hokkien Mee = non-Halal, sadly.
- For food, you'll find some stall near the waterfall. Food like nasi lemak, kuih-muih and drinks are served there.

How to get there?
- From Kuala Lumpur, head towards Batu Caves, look for signboard to Ulu Yam.
- To get to Batu Dam: From Jalan Ipoh, take a right into Jalan Sungai Tua. Follow signages towards Hulu Yam.

So anyone interested? This is what I managed to get from the net so far, but I've heard it's a popular destination for performance car owners. In packs.

[coriolis]

wokay, so we have at least 4 + myself for this one. Anyone else? Just give a Yes/No here.

And yes, do tell if anyone is going to church on Sundays.

Alternative date would be 30 or 31/8. Ramadhan starts on 1/9 right?

31st of Aug is not a good date as it is a public holiday..prob there will be lots of traffic on the road.
I will be joining if I can get my car out in time..

Ivan!want to join ka?

[AE111_SEG]

Hi Bernard.
Yeah.... I think lets make it in September cos August 31 is public holiday which will be a long weekend. Maybe many people will be out of town.
Let move it to 14th Sep. Bernard what do you think.? Guys your input also appreciated......

[Greytezza]

Sept 14th will be fine but the muslim will be in puasa mode alreadi...
