The Four Horsemen

SKYTREX Adventure, Bukit Cahaya – this is so cool :) SKYTREX Adventure provides an organized outdoor 'eco-recreational cum educational' activity which will take the participants from tree to tree via a series of aerial obstacles suspended at 3 meters to 22 meters in the air. I was there together with Christy, Ramli & Clara. It’s a different kind of a jungle adventure where we experience the jungle’s nature from a height never reached before – via the canopy. It tested our agility, challenge our so-called fear, walk, glide and swing through the different obstacles in the sky; of course in total safety while appreciating the wonders of the Malaysian Tropical Rain Forest.

The circuit is divided into 3 levels – Little Adventure, Big Thrill and Extreme. We were actually extremely grateful that we took the Little Adventure as a warm-up session before we undertake the Big Thrill in the future. The heights can be scary :) and for sure, we will use more of our upper body strength. Before we took off, every participant will have to go through the initiation circuit before climbing. It is compulsory for all of the participants to learn how to use the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that the participant is wearing and will be trained to use the PPE such as the latch, hook, pulley etc incompliance with the safety system in place.

Little Adventure – this little circuit consists of 23 adventure challenges with difficulty level ranging from easy to difficult. The challenges are named after common animals behavior such as 'Rubah Terbang' (Flying Fox), 'Tulang Naga' (Dragon Bones), 'Jungkit Arnab' (Rabbit Flip-Flop) and many more. I just love the flying fox as I just hang myself up there, without doing anything, and it will just take me to the next point without having to use any upper body/hand muscles :) I get to enjoy the aerial view and feel the breeze. All of the obstacles end the activity with the '70m flying fox' which takes us across 2 lakes to the finishing point. The various challenges has guaranteed us - the less adventurous adults, busy but happy throughout the day :) The platform height is between 3m to 5m high.
