SUFES Tapah Campsite Visit

Geri and I visited SUFES Tapah Campsite 2 weeks ago, on a Saturday (20 Jan 2007). The reason for visit is to check out the camp site, get some photos for publicity, time estimation and cost of journey.

We left at 8.30am… or somewhere around there. Was lost looking for Geri’s house. Hahaha! Lost in Subang Jaya, to be specific Lost in SS17. Gave up looking and end up giving her a call to figure out how to get to her place. Our journey there from Subang took about 1 hour and 45 mins. Going there doesn’t feel long but coming back does.

Upon arrival we met Mr. Ramu, the caretaker of the campsite that time. Not too far from him, a welcoming party was there too!… the 2 puppies, barking and wagging their tails.

Don't get lost The welcoming party

The hall looks great. Should be big enough for about 80 people to fit in. However couldn’t find any PA system there (Heard that they will prepare one for us when we are there). Rooms and dorms looks alright to me but this room with 3 bed per bunkers looks scary though. Toilet looks bearable :D

Hall Dorm Dorm Toilet

The best part is actually outside of the hall and dorms. It is back to basic and nature that make this place worthy. Was surprise to find an obstacle course there. Got quite some chun stuff to play with. Climbed some wall-obstacle-thing that I have no idea what the name is - slippery… so be careful! What really surprise me was the this rope-hanging-thing where one run, jump and get a grip on the rope, swing to the other side and let go. Imagine the someone accidentally let go of the rope or perhaps didn’t get the grip…. SPLASH!… that would be fun to see and captured! but a total ouch for that person.

What’s better when come to accomodation is the tent site and pavilions. Notice a picture with some rockish-sandy-rectangular-area, that’s where the tent is set up. The pavilion looks cool too, but was wondering what is the shower doing right outside the pavilion… bathing with nature perhaps. heheh… :P Saw the toilet but didn’t check out the inside of it.

The ampitheatre looks cool! Reminds me of my university lecture hall, just that this is open-air.

Amphitheatre Amphitheatre

One of the path looks awesome. The stream looks awesome too! Looks like I found a good place for some photo shooting.

Path to Dining Place Another Stream, actually the same as the before…

The makan place looks really plain though. Well… it’s a makan place after all, what’s there to expect. Guess it can also be the outside hall for gathering as next to it, there’s a plain field.

I guess most campsite can’t escape from facilitating themselves with a field and a playground. Yes… there is a playground… so for those who want to return to their kiddy times, enjoy! but don’t spoil it yeah!

Field Playground

That’s the end of SUFES Tapah Campsite.

We heard from Collene that there is some waterfall nearby, so we headout to look for it. Then we came to this place called Kuala Woh. Very very nice. Upon reaching there, it looks rather plain though, nothing attractive… not until when you walk in deeper. It’s like a whole new world… Definitely a great place for picnic, rest and some small activities.

It was noon by end of the visit. Lunch time!.. Geri brought me to this place in Bidor… a restaurant well known for their duck noodle! It’s really good!… love the herbal soup!… superb!

Went home after lunch. Gotta thank God for the weather! It didn’t rain when we went there, good time to visit and explore the place. It only rain after lunch… all in good timing. :D
