Gunung TAHAN Mountain: Barefooted

Honestly, it's been a while since i do a hiking activity. The last time i done that is to hike Gunung ANGSI Mountain in Kuala Pilah on April 2010 (UiTM MEBA) and before that Gunung YONG YAP Mountain on February 2009 (SAR Lojing).

The mission is simple. To assist 'Without Boundaries' (8tv) crews (Henry, Aie, Man, Amin, Abang Jeff and Pet) to the highest summit in Peninsular Malaysia, Gunung TAHAN Mountain (2187 meters) for their MOST EXTREAM episode in their programs. For me, is to test my Vibram Five Fingers (VFF) Flow to the max!!
