It is possible to hike up without a guide, but need to do your own marking just before reaching the summit. The car park is safe as far as I know.Ching Neng Bin 秦 能 斌 https://www.blogger.com/profile/13077203661273005118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925927201512689182.post-68048911763988346142014-08-12T11:51:04.050+08:002014-08-12T11:51:04.050+08:00Dear Mr Ching,

I enjoy reading your well-written articles and viewing your beautiful photographs. Please continue with your good effort. I am sure many people enjoy them too and also find inspiration from your enthusiasm in travel and adventure.<br /><br />I read about your hike up Gunung Suku in April this year. I hope you can kindly provide me with some information concerning this mountain in Simpang Pulai/Cameron Highlands. My friends and I are planning to hike up this mountain soon.<br /><br />1) Is the trail up Gunung Suku very clear and well-marked? ( just like the trail up Gunung Irau?)<br />2) Is it possible for hikers to hike up Gunung Suku without a guide? (it would be our first time there}<br />3) Is it safe to park our cars at the roadside near the trail head?<br /><br />I look forward to your kind advice. I wish you a nice day and a wonderful week ahead.<br /><br />Thank you very much.<br /><br />With regards,<br />Peng Aun.Peng Aunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925927201512689182.post-64478434648230638382014-05-12T22:18:41.423+08:002014-05-12T22:18:41.423+08:00He was simply a mentor to you and he knows from ab...He was simply a mentor to you and he knows from above that you are equally capable to lead the pack.<br />Thank you very much for sharing with me all your interesting travels.

Trip to Gunung Suku made me understand why Bernard choose this path. Thanks Ching for organizing the trek to Gunung Suku for through it I felt Bernard's present in the little starry flowers laid on the path, orchestra of the jungle, mist welcoming us and the rain that chased us home. Bernard must have guided me to the right path when at one time I went to the wrong trail walking alone. He is gone physically but he, the kind and beautiful soul will be remembered forever.Lian Goet Eannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925927201512689182.post-28222747978278550012014-05-02T11:40:20.952+08:002014-05-02T11:40:20.952+08:00Experienced my first backpacking trip through Cind...Experienced my first backpacking trip through Cindy Chong with Bernard Lee as the leader.

He was such a kind soul. He had left behind so much of his kind generous doings. The 1st time I met him, I thought he was a priest. He has taught me so much things that I myself can't imagine I could do. Backpacking is the last thing on my mind. With his guidance I survived 4 backpacking trips with him & friends.Cindy Chongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925927201512689182.post-79520670092599342852014-04-28T23:40:46.036+08:002014-04-28T23:40:46.036+08:00Shakespeare says: One who has many friends shall f...Shakespeare says: One who has many friends shall find no one to spare. And that's what Bernard Lee would probably say if he were to be still around, about what Ching NB and members of his Climbing enthusiasts have done so to commenmerate about his passing. <br />NB told me that the departure of Bernard Lee was an immense loss and a huge blow to them as he had been their group's planner since years back. He's a rare gem in comradeship.<br />It's an apt gesture (though quite a strenuous one)to climb the 1,797 m high Gunung Suku as a way to remember Bernard. <br />The mossy forest of Cameron Highland reminds one the scenes in the movies LOTR (Lord of the Ring) series,as well as the scenes of Harry Potter movies too. <br />I could see all the climbers were highly spirited and enlightened after offering prayers to BL. All were suitably rewarded by soaking in the shallow waterfall that followed (or is it just a mountain stream?). Rejuvenated and dinner followed at the Restoran 668 in Gopeng Town sure was bonus further rendered. Tauhu with fried small onion slices and Kangkong are great village delicacies that attract my glance. Great day of outdoor adventure to remember and cherish.<br />Regards, Alan K., KL.<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275354601775549365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925927201512689182.post-39383622616335013242014-04-25T17:25:46.513+08:002014-04-25T17:25:46.513+08:00My heartfelt thanks to you for organizing the comm...My heartfelt thanks to you for organizing the commemorative climb in memory of our great friend, the late Bernard.

Though you don't know me, I knew Bernard. And I know he would express exactly the same sentiments that ran through my mind when I saw your two commemorative climbs and postings in memory of your dear friend and I must thank you. Until we get to "Bernard's place", where he really is now, and gratitude can be more adequately expressed, thank you will have to do. Thank you, Mr Cheng.Meihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695477251773981553noreply@blogger.com
