Mahang Offroad Trip - Thrill & Fun of 147 (The Unprepared Challenge)
Mahang offroad 147 trip reflected the motto of 4x4adventurers.com - Explore ! Enjoy ! Experience !
10 4WD from members of 4x4 adventurers joined the trip. Together we had a group of almost 40 people, they are members of 4x4 adventurers & family.
We travelled to Mahang and started the offroad trip. Our aim destination was to reach "four not same" (四不像) near Baling -> Grik highway. We drove through the mud terrain, crossed rivers, up hills & down hills. 阿勤 with his fully equiped 4x4 started to break away from the team after some distant and started to explore.
Suddently weather changed and heavy rain started pourring. We had to stop the journey due to the sliperly road condition, every body waited in the car.
GG decided to go ahead to see how was 阿勤 getting on. We waited for some time. Suddently we heard GG calling through CB Radio "calling 'lima charlie' 'lima charlie' send 2 rescue car to help as 阿勤 was traped"
After some discussion & arrangement, 2 cars with 6 people were sent for the rescue task. Due to the heavy rain ealier, the road condition was terrible, we had a hard time to get to GG's location even it was only few kilometers away. We took almost 1 hour to get 阿勤 out of the trap. After some rest, we decided to head back to where the rest of the members were.
The road condition was even worst than when we came, we needed to winch our car most of the time, we fought & tried hard for almost 3-4 hrs, but we moved not more than 2 kilometers. The time then was almost 12 mid nite, everybody was tired, we decided to stop the plan and spent a nite in the jungle.
We spent a night in the jungle without any camping gear, we had only 3 liters of water & little food for 12 people. GG cooked the "Maggie" instand noodle with some water for the dinner (at almost 1am in the morning) but he commanded we were not allowed to have the soup because the soup needed to cook "Maggie" noodle again for tomorrow's breakfast :p
It was the longest nite ever. Next morning, the road condition was already better, we took only few hours to get all cars back to the place where the rest of the members were.
This is one of the most memorable trip that most of the members are still talking about.
