Here's a map of sorts about a 70 k trail in Camerons. Perhaps more do-able than the Mat Daling trail.[img]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/jmzyap/Other%20adventures/brinchang-mensun2.jpg[/img]

LOTS OF DOWNHILL..NICE!
have you done this one yet? where's the starting point?
we may need someone to drop us off and pick up at a specified location.
all doable in one day?

I got the map off some dude whom I've lost contact with - so no reference person now. Starting point is at Habu, basically the entrance to Boh Tea Estate. Have ridden to Pos mensun then out to Lembah Bertam. But have not gone further. I think Bt49 is along the main road in camerons. It is easy to ride back to the cars in Habu since it's downhill mostly.

Wanna give this a shot? It is definitely a day ride. But might want to consider staying in camerons a day or two to soak in the place.

I'm itching for an epic la..

will we be riding on the tea plantation? is it allowed?
if you can still remember the trailhead OIIIIO, it should be easy. GPS may be useful.
I'll try and get hold of maps.

this really looks do-able. we can warm up with this one first..then do the mat daling later what yáll say?

No problem riding in the tea plantation. We're not riding in between the bushes, rather on the service roads.

You can even have piping hot tea, scones and other mysterious english pastries at the guest house in Boh Tea estate before descending to Pos Mensun. Real nice scenery too with all those neatly manicured tea bushes.

I should be able to recall the junctions. Fingers crossed. Yes dig up maps. TT session soon?

i think the best is to pick one week-end. no public holidays cause camerons would be packed with tourists...
hows about next month?
