another trail...behind the house...Bukit Dinding

was on the normal morning walk this morning, without water. Target to complete for on hour i.e.. from 8.30 am to 9.30am ...just a normal up the hill to the water reservoir.

On my second round of going up met this guy, name Rick of BSW 4...and asked him whether he ever explore the hill...ofcourse he didnt and became very excited when I asked whether he would like to explore. Immediately both of us already in the wood tracking & trailing the foot trail

we went up & down the hill and I believe we trail around the hill....a group of young children whomwe met on the trail joined us....it was really fun...walking on the new trail

it took us almost 2 solid hours to complete this mini exploration

Kellie"s Castle experience

Kellie's castle is about 15km from Ipoh. Full of mystery and mystic

Visited the Castle in year 2009...walking thru and wondering around within the Castle

Kellie's Castle is an abandoned incomplete mansion in Batu Gajah, Perak. It is probably the most extraordinary incomplete building in Malaysia, way back for almost 100 years

Ianya dibina oleh William Kellie Smith, berbangsa Scottish bagi menyimpan harta yang dikumpul sebagai taukeh kaya yang mengaut keuntungan dari hasil getah dan bijih timah. Smith akhirnya mati akibat phenomonia sebelum dapat menyiapkan sebahagian lagi bangunan .

menurut sejarah , banagunan ini dibina dengan unsur-unsur mystery dimana disetiap penjuru bilik di dalam bangunan ini mempunyai jalan keluar bagi menyelamatkan diri, sekiranya berlaku rompakan dan sebagainya.

Mengikut cerita, Smith selalu melayan tetamu dengan wine. Bilik bawah tanah memang dibuatkhas bagi menyimpan wine.

Menurut cerita rakyat tempatan, bangunan ini dihuni oleh paranormal terutama dari magrib sehingga pagi.

Jelmaan Smith, anak perempuanya dan isterinya Kellie's selalu kelihatan di sekitar bangunan ini
