Oh man, I am very very interested.

Oh just a little note to everyone here.
I have the nitecore headband and if you're wearing glasses, headlamps with the lights at the side isn't very comfortable.
Better get a dedicated headlamp like the Zebralight H series, Petzl etc.
They'll be glare off ur glasses.

wouldnt it b nicer to climb a hill that can see the KL city night view when u reach the top?

Best time to hike broga hill is apparently in the morning to see the sunrise. But all the times I've hiked up is only in the morning so I don't know how is the place at other times such as sunset.
I normally start the hike at around 5 to 5:30am before the sun peeks out. If your stamina is good it only takes about 15-20 mins to reach the first peak, then it's just a little bit more to go the next 3 slightly higher peaks. If you manyak pro, you could even go on for a further 3.7 kilometres to the next mountain (forgot the name) but I've never tried that one before.

Now that place is so popular it's really crowded up there during weekends in the morning. More than a year ago, when I first hiked up, very few people know about that place. Now people come all the way from all over klang valley and the greedy landowners (apparently) started charging RM2 parking.
We could possibly try an evening hike to see the sunset and picnic/minum up there till it's really dark then you can test flashlight all you want. I could bring my camera gear and tripod up (but need help ) and we could do a whole beamshot compilation.

Oh and regarding travelling time, it takes me about 45 mins to travel to subang or kelana during off-peak hours. So yeah 1 hour is a good estimate for non-jam hours.

I've been there once I guess. It's more of a biking trail, I guess too long for walks unless U know the ways.



@Susuman, thats quite a bit of modding you've been doing. =D

Let's see if anyone can catch this. =D







P.s. sorry for the not straightness. Am in office with boss around. =D So just use iSight. =D

Hey, very interested in what?

Btw, thanks for the experience update. Zebralight headlamp rocks.


Hey you seem to have a lot of resources, better come for the next yea


OK good info, we'll take the 3 slightly higher peaks. But the Mountain expedition will have to be another time Non-picnic and walk all the way.. in the dark! We'll definitely stay till dark and walk our way back after we're satisfied.

According to Metalzone and the map, it's a road all the way down pass University Nottingham in Sermenyih. I would really like to check it out first

The tentative date at the moment for this is on the 29th May 2010, Saturday.

Meanwhile, let's not forget Bukit Kiara, I would also wanna check that out.


U know how to get to the entrance?

hey there is google n google maps u know

i would love to try all trail before July 1, 2010......cos after that date i'm gonna be absent from all forum activities for at least 6 months.....grounded for a purpose....


holy cow....i want a XP-G too in my Modus ! ..... hmm, what's that huge yellow donut ring there

haha, I think I know why All the best in your business! We will try and make as many gatherings before the 1st of July! LOL

no more GB for this year?

You can look in this way, more GB until 1/7 which will fullfill/cover the GB needs for 6 months (while he is on sabbatical ).

can meh..? do-able? a GB is 2 month's time.... ?

GB again? ....sure no issue, this time i can do you all a favor cos i'm not purchasing anything from US for time being....

but this time, i need a GB coordinator [ who manage all the communications, purchase, payment, delivery etc etc ], i can only facilitate the communication with my US agent....

p/s : someone still owe me the shipping payment from the recent GB .....

In joining the climb up whatever hill haha.

Ooo another GB, now really wondering if I want anything.
Finances lebih stabil a bit now

heheheeh quarks...

???

Rookiedaddy: So do you notice any glare when using the SC50 as a headlamp?

yes. the included ZL headband is not suitable. if you are using NiteCore headband, only the top position is ok. no issue with their H-series tho...
i think they should include other accessories for SC-series instead of headband... a 360° belt holster and other GITD goodies would be nice...

EDIT: maybe for members who don't wear glasses there will be lesser or no glare?

Yea I was also gonna say it's because we're wearing glasses. It glares on mine too. Probably more suitable if it was more protruded out, like attached to the side of a helmet.

Any cheap & accurate battery tester recommend ?

no info on cheap and accurate battery tester... but....
Uncle Wong... congrats on your new business... I see that you are now a Solarforce and Olight dealer?

Ooo... congrats on your new business! Now I know who to look for solarforce stuff.

add: about the battery tester, a lot of people seem to recommend the ZTS battery tester. the mini one is cheaper.
