Fraser's Hill Ride

 

Date : 6th (Fri) 0500hrs - 8th (Sun) 2359hrs April 2007 (Good Friday Weekend)

 

Agenda : Ride, Relax, Rest / AGM(Awesome Grand Mtg - review 2006, Plan 2007, Q&A)

 

Accomadation Cost @ Singapore House : less then S$20 per person for 2 nites

 

General Info : Fraser's Hill (Bukit Fraser) is a colonial-era hill station in Pahang state, Peninsular Malaysia.

 

Understand

Fraser's Hill is named after Louis James Fraser, a Scotsman who prospected for gold in Australia but eventually struck tin here instead in the 1890s. Employing Chinese miners to do the hard work for him and earning his keep by operating mule trains down the mountain, Fraser set up opium and gambling dens to increase his profits, which may have had something to do with his subsequent mysterious disappearance. The tin ran out in 1913, but the lush valley within was rediscovered as a colonial hill resort that, thanks to its 1524m elevation, enjoys considerably cooler temperatures than Kuala Lumpur. By 1922 a road had been cut through the mountains to the valley, which soon sprouted bungalows and even one of Malaya's first golf courses.

 

Not much has changed since, and Fraser's Hill retains a wonderfully weird mixed-up character, where locals eat curries off banana leaves in a English cottage next to a golf course while the call to prayer sounds from the mosque.

 

Location

Fraser's Hill is located 105 km north of Kuala Lumpur, around 2 hours by car. For a long time, access to Fraser's Hill was possible only via a 8-km one-lane road known as the The Gap, used by uphill and downhill traffic in turns. However, a new road was completed in 2001, and while promptly closed for repairs it is, as of March 2006, open once again. Now all upward traffic uses the new road, while the old Gap road is designated for downward traffic, with no time restrictions round the clock.

 

Only 420km to Destination

Saw a blue fairing vara 3291 with a female pillion near my house at Punggol earlier at about 1820 hrs on 18th Jan. Dun think he is one of our guys (yet....). If you are reading this and buying a house at block 600+, please PM me. We are living really close together.

This pic is enough to convince me to head up there again. It gives me the impression that it's snowing.

 

No one has pic of that superduper Ramli burger hawker ? The best in Fraser because there is only one. Nevertheless the best I have tasted. Don't believe go ask Chairman Toobez or red "hungry" wolf.

Hi Boardies...

And I want to upgrade my licence to 400cc: any recommendations on where to do it or are all of the schools pretty much the same?

 

Thanks!

most of the schools are the same....advisable to go back to the same school that u took ur 2b unless u got ur 2b from other means like one of our friend here....then can take at the centre nearest to ur place...
