A calling drawn her to **Reiki healing** and her recovery progressed so much more! Hwee is an advanced Reiki Level 3 practitioner. With yoga, Hwee fell in love with the **low impact** workout (which was gentle for her teenage injured lower back). Wanting to know yoga beyond the physical aspects (asanas), she went to one of the oldest yoga school in world, G.S. College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis, Kaivalydham in Lonavla, Pune, India in 2017 and attained her Hatha Yoga teaching certifications from both Kaivalydham and Quality Council of India (QCI) by Indian Yoga Association. Hwee is also into meditation since 2013 and with Hatha Yoga now, the practice between asana (physical exercise) and meditation has integrated into one. > *“We don’t do meditation — meditation happens to us.”* Join Hwee for a nourishing outdoor practice of yoga, pranayama, and gentle healing. Hwee also speaks **Chinese & Japanese.** Instagram & Facebook: **@NamasteWithHwee** [https://www.facebook.com/namastewithhwee/](https://www.facebook.com/namastewithhwee/) [https://www.instagram.com/namastewithhwee/](https://www.instagram.com/namastewithhwee/) [www.namastewithhwee.com](www.namastewithhwee.com)

Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \**** Gunung Berembun Jelebu (1,014m) is an interesting hike with the chance of visiting a WWII plane crash site, while hiking through a dense rainforest with waterfalls and streams, and fallen trees. There are many "Gunung Berembun" but this is the one located in Negiri Sembilan! We will be doing the classic route via Kampung Pantai. It is considered a full day hike, slightly shorter than Ophir. This is usually used as a training hike, and exposure to different elements and exploring a more raw trail, rather than a hike for the view itself. **Who is this for?** * It is most suitable for those who just want an interesting full-day hike out similar to Ophir, but less curated than the usual ones. * It serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking. Most do it as general training for hikes. * Wish to experience a more raw rainforest trail with less crowds, and different elements * Wish to do a full-day hike nearby without travelling so far * Wish to see a WWII plane crash site and wreckage * Not for those who are hunting for a beautiful viewpoint at the summit **How tough is it/How fit do I have to be?** Duration: \~5h up, and 4h down. You can u-turn at the summit instead of going to the crash site. Distance: \~7km one way, total of 14km. It is generally tropical forest trail, with some river, rope portions. However, if you have done other Malaysia hikes before like Gunung Datuk/Lambak/Ophir before, the terrain is not that much of a surprise, except it is more raw. With the presence of streams, please do expect leeches! To confirm, do RSVP and send me a whatsapp message! A Whatsapp group will be set up. Do make sure you're in the WA group if you're going. A minimum of **12 pax** is needed for this trip to go ahead. **Estimated Itinerary: (Saturday)** \~12.00 am : Meet @ Marsiling MRT 4.30 am : Breakfast 6:30 am : Reach Kampung Pantai Baru Trailhead.

Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \**** Join us for a leisure hike, where the idea is to include hiking in our lifestyle. For the Leisure Hike series, we always look at a hike that isn't too intense, just to get our limbs moving, have fresh air, and hopefully good company too, and combine with an R&R activity. We'll do an easy hike for a sunrise view and enjoying being out nature before heading for good food in Malacca and leave for some time for R&R So bring your friends, make new friends and hang out together! There is nothing like enjoying Nature and good food! Bukit Senaling (394m) is a famous beginner hill in Malaysia which everyone goes for the "sea of clouds". It is a leisure hike up and down, so it will just be something to warm up the body and have a view! We'll try to pack some breakfast along the way (bring your own containers), or bring your own food, floor mats, or coffee/tumblers/cups. We'll start hiking early, so we can have breakfast at the summit while waiting for sunrise =) It takes around an hour + to reach the summit, and the same amount down. The idea here is to take your time to enjoy the morning walk, the fresh air and the sunrise. It'll be nice to sip a hot drink while looking at sunrise, breathe in fresh air and feel connected to Nature. After which, we'll descent and head to either Malacca where its free and easy and we can all have some massage and good food! If interested, do **whatsapp +65 8884 2635**. A whatsapp group will be set up for further information and coordination. A minimum of **12 pax** is needed for this trip to go ahead.

Come enjoy a day filled with fresh air, great views, and friendly company as we hike **Sugarloaf Mountain!** This hike is all about enjoying the outdoors, getting some exercise, making new friends, and sharing a memorable experience with a great group of people. We’ll meet at the **West View Parking Lot** (check the map pin for the exact location) and head out on a **4.6-mile loop** that will take about **3 hours**. The hike kicks off with a good workout as we climb the steps to the mountain’s peak, where we’ll pause to take in the stunning views, snap some photos, and catch our breath. From there, the trail becomes easier, leading us on a short hike to another scenic overlook before wrapping up. After the hike, join us for a casual meetup at **Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard**. Feel free to bring your own food, as it looks like there's no food truck scheduled. Please remember that outside alcohol is not allowed, but the vineyard offers wine by the glass for purchase. It’s the perfect way to relax, enjoy good conversation, and toast to a fantastic day spent outdoors. We’re excited to have you join us! Be sure to wear your hiking shoes, bring water, and pack your positive energy. Let’s make this a fun and refreshing fall day together! **Meeting Time & Location:** We’ll meet at **9:30 AM** at the Sugarloaf Mountain West View Parking Lot. Look for us by the picnic tables near the trailhead. **Distance:** 4.7 miles **Elevation Gain:** 965 feet **Difficulty:** Intermediate Hike This hike is rated Intermediate for its moderate inclines, including a challenging staircase to the summit at the start. The trail then descends for about 3 miles, with a few final inclines returning to the parking lot.

Breaks are regular but not overly frequent, allowing for a balanced experience of exercise and enjoyment. **Parking** We’ll park at the **West View Parking Lot**, which has plenty of spaces available and is a convenient starting point for our hike. Please refer to the event map to locate the correct parking area. Do not park at the East View Parking Area, which is the first parking area you’ll pass. **Trail Map (AllTrails)** [Take a Hike!

Download the map in advance to follow along and stay on track during the hike. **Dogs on the Trail** Unfortunately, this hike isn’t ideal for dogs due to the steep steps and narrow pathways. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly ask that you leave your pets at home. Thank you for understanding! **Restrooms** There are a couple of porta-potties located at the trailhead for your convenience. Be sure to plan accordingly, as these are the only restroom facilities available on this hike. **Lunch After the Hike** Join us for a relaxed lunch at **[Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard](https://www.smvwinery.com)** after the hike.

I will drive and am happy to have others carpool with me - but please note, I will have my small black labrador in the back seat. **Day 1** After we park, we will hike about 7 miles to our campsite, diverting once to summit Mt Rogers. There arent any views here, but it's worth the .3 miles to say you've been to the highest point in VA! We will camp on the first night at the scenic tent sites near the Thomas Knob Shelter on the AT. There is water at this site and we may see wild ponies if we're lucky. **Day 2** The second day is about 10.7 miles, which includes spectacular views, unique rock formations and wide open grassy meadows. We will camp near the Old Orchard Shelter. There is a spring with water at this site as well. **Day 3** The third day will be a short 3.5 mile hike from camp back to the cars. Getting to the cars early will mean that we should get back to DC around 4-5pm. On the drive home, I plan to stop at Martin's in downtown Roanoke (413 1st St SW, Roanoke, VA 24011). **Essential Items**: * Tent * Sleeping pad​ * Sleeping bag suitable for expected temperatures​ * Backpack (appropriate for overnight backpacking)​ * Backpacking stove with fuel​ * Pot, cup, dish, and utensils​ * Dehydrated meals​ and snacks * Water bottles or hydration system (capacity for at least 2 liters)​ * Water filter or purification tablets​ * Headlamp with extra batteries​ * Rain gear * Dry bags or pack cover​ * Warm clothing layers (non-cotton) * Trowel for and toiletries for Leave-No-Trace compliance **Optional Items**: * Personal first aid kit​ * Map and compass or GPS device * Power bank or external battery * Trekking poles​ * Camp shoes * Electrolyte supplements​ * Alcohol​ * Books, games, or other enterainment * Gaiters​ * Sunscreen, lip balm, insect repellent​​ **CARPOOL:** Don't forget if you want a ride or are willing to offer a ride – be a friend to the environment, save money, and make friends. **LIABILITY NOTICE:** Please remember that this group operates under the common adventurer model.
