Good point 👍

But I will not want to navigate thru the dense bushes in total darkness …  I will probably try to find the main  … but hor such ulu place sometimes the road doesn't even exist in google map

If doesn't appear on Google Map, sure appear on Onemap.

This camp can  be found on Google Map.

Basically whole LCK area is dead, dark and quiet after night falls! Those two poor girls must be traumatize siah! The place that these girls going is even further up than Sungei Gedong camp.

 

actually the track is long and straight (yah and dark at night cos dun have street lights) from LCK Road to the Scout Camp

if dun wander off into the bushes, hardly will get lost one

It is a nice road for night drive or ride.

But careful for stray dogs along the road.

this site got show the photos of the track

it's not a normal asphalt road

made up of lots of small stones, sedan cars need to go slow

maybe that's why the taxi driver didn't want to go all the way in?

The street map show this road quite a long track, maybe taxi driver got scare how come it take so long from the main road into the track still havent reach the scout camp site, and didnt want to proceed forward. But i think even the taxi driver does not want to proceed in, he should have at least send the two girls back to the main road lo, and not throw them halfway inside the track.

Anyway, such small stones track/road is very common in some LCK side road, esp inside the SAF training ground. I have gotten used to seeing such road. Also even inside there is no street lights, but it is also not totally dark until you cannot see anything along the track, as lights is shine from the sky.

I would not want to walk on foot along LCK area, cause there are many stray dogs there. I have phobia on stray dogs.

Actually 1km by car is not consider very far in. If by foot then consider some distance away.

i went there twice before...

i think the article meant to be Bahtera Track as it's the only way to the scout camp

Jalan Bahtera, if i'm not wrong, is in the restricted area and not accessible to public

Not sure too. I have never been there and the article is more than 10 years ago. Not sure if at that time Jalan Bahtera was open to public or if Bahtera Track existed then.

Maybe last time only got Jalan Bahtera. SAF took over the land and seal it off and created Bahtera Track for public to access those camp sites.
