tried the bkt putus road out yesterday. luckily, it was plain empty save for perhaps 2 cars coming from the opposite direction as i was going uphill. it was simply great. the road has improved quite a bit as my dad said it used to be bumpy many years ago. i stopped at the sign that showed '3km (i think) more to ulu bendol' and made a u-turn to go back down the hill. really good stuff.
