It is important to know that:
- If you come by car, pay attention to the given coordinates. Drivers please check the coordinates and the route you intend to follow, at least the day before the event to avoid any hiccups. It is not the first time that an app sends a driver to a different location...!
- The coordinates of the meet-up place are 3.425994, 101.682025. You can use 2K Hotspring Campsite in Google Maps.
- The meet-up place is privately owned and has a parking area, private hot spring, restrooms and shower facilities.
- This is a paid event as we need to pay entry fees and fees to use the facilities.
Bring enough drinks and snacks (carbohydrates). For the hikes, isotonic drinks are not a luxury and you will need at least 1.5 litres.
Wear shoes with a good profile to prevent sliding. No slippers, no crocs, no shoes or sandals without a proper strap.
If it has rained, it might be muddy here and there.
We have two options for this event:
Option A - A loop of around 12.5 km - IBP 56
Option B - A loop of around 8.5 km - IBP 35
Both hikes do not follow the same way in and out.
The elevation gain is moderate for both events.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have a gps navigation app (like ~in alphabetical order~ AllTrails (paid version), Gaia, Hiiker, Komoot, Maps.me, OSMAnd, Wikiloc,...) installed on your phone and make sure that it is working properly.
If you don't have an app installed yet, we suggest to use Hiiker to start with. Once you have downloaded the offline map of Malaysia, you can easily import and navigate any gpx file.
See further instructions sub 'How to prepare myself for navigation...?'
Do not come to the venue if you have not installed a gps navigation app at home, or have not downloaded the map of Malaysia at home, or have not opened the test gpx file at home.IMPORTANT: You will receive a gpx file in advance and you will have to navigate yourself. There will be no paper markers. =
