Day 881                                                18th December 2018<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

37 mainly uphill miles (Tapah to Tana Ratah) Average speed 8mph<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was awake at 6 and up at 6.30. I had black coffee and two cream croissants and left at 7.45.<\/span><\/span>Lucas was still in bed due to a lorry parked outside our room keeping him awake at 4 am.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The first 5 miles were downhill mostly until the climbing started. The next 6 hours were then all uphill. I stopped at a tiny village to buy coke and cup cakes for sustenance and headed on up.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well that was an enjoyable ride up to Cameron Highlands, 5 hours and 37 miles, mostly uphill. I do like a challenge.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I was hoping for some good wildlife but all I found was a mole in a drainage pipe! Still the scenery was quite spectacular and I had a lovely lunch of chicken curry in Ringlet. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastic view of the valley<\/p><\/div>\n

I checked into the Hikers Sleep Port in a dormitory, so hopefully I won\u2019t upset too many people with my snoring! Only another 17 miles of climbing before I can enjoy the ride down to Penang for Christmas.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
