Medi'it Expedition 24 to 31 January 2009.

Camp 1 Day 1. Jan 24 Sat 09.

Camp 1 is a unexpected camp as it was getting dark and raining. There are about 5 to 6 huts here and we come to know that they are used by the Penans of Long Perisek to spend a few nights to collect "mulung".

Suddenly we saw ppl waiting at the side of the road. This place is 1 hour from Rayah and the offroad is very steep.

The "end of the road". Some sort of rendevous with the Lg Perisek Penans. Date and time has no meaning to them, but luckily they were here on "no man land" waiting for us.

Long Rayah; stop to donate some plates and bowls.

We arrive Long Rayah at 1.30pm and as was requested by Violette Tan to give away some of the plates, bowls, spoons and forks. After this place, the offroad terrain is really bad; very steep climb for the 4 wheels, muddy and lots of potholes.

This is Sayat Magut's hut where 18 of us stayed.
The whole of Sayat family and the whole village has gone to Long Seridan to wait for the I/C men to arrive on Feb the 5th.
We just make used of the whole hut and the fireplace. But there was not much left behind as Sayat group are still Nomadic. We stayed 2 night here to recover from trekking.
