| On the tiny strip of land connecting to the island |
 |
| During the start of the ride, approaching the chicken farm |
 |
| Still quite a distance to the island... |
 |
| Just a few rubber trees remaining, the land overtaken by palm oil trees |
 |
| Sap |
 |
| First stream |
 |
| First weaver nest sighted near the stream |
 |
| Strange flowers |
 |
| More weaver nest around the lake |
 |
| The Lake! |
 |
| Long stretches of gravel with one area super loose! |
 |
| Oops! We have to backtrack to find the strip of land leading to secret island |
 |
| Turning off from the main trail... |
 |
| Heading for the strip of land |
 |
| Trail is overgrown |
 |
| Puddles |
 |
| We are finally on that strip of land ! |

| The classic 60's pose... |
 |
| The dirt road to the farm |
 |
| Right after the stream, we came upon this ex animal farm. The animal cages were empty but next door was a swallow condominium |
 |
| This is the junction to circle the lake. As mentioned by the farmer, the place is marked by a "Restricted Area" signboard. |
 |
| Chooi play acting while VT scouted the trail |
 |
| A 4x4 driver told us to ride ahead instead! This led us to tarmac and totally off course!!! |
 |
| Returning to Camel Trophy challenge |
 |
| ...and down the trail.... |
 |
| After we met Mr Snake, we used an alternative route instead |
 |
| Passing by a farm |
 |
| Back to civilization!!! |
 |
| Jalan Kampung Rahmat |
 |
| Murtabak Abu Hurairah is very "happening" |
 |
| RM17 for Murtabak Singapore that feeds 4 pax and yet we are still able to smile...it was goooooood ! |
Today's epic ride to Secret Island...
We managed to get to the island despite the overgrown path. This may not be possible again as the path was almost not visible ! Along the strip of land connecting the island with mainland, we found many weaver bird nests. The place is so undisturbed, the grass grew taller than 6 feet. I have never been caned so many times in my life!!! Unfortunately, as hard as we tried, we did not manage to round the lake as intended. At the north section of the lake, a black snake the size of my arm crossed VT's path. It was only 5 feet away. We decided to take it as a cue from the spirits of the forest not to pursue further and took the longer route home via Ayer Hitam.
