The Canopy Thrill

530m in length.

Taman Negara boasts of a Canopy Walkway of quite a distance.

Nobody leaves the sanctuary without trying it out; unless something very untoward happens.

This group of young and old will take the challenge to task; I was wondering at my mum's response when she was at my age. Would she have taken the walk? No, no, no she would not. But some of us veterans here are never ever too willing to concede to defeat without a try. Who cares about the physical age ? It's the heart that is young.

See. All who were there were only too eager to give it a walk. I saw babies too; and I wonder at the energy the young parents had. Frankly speaking, it's good to be young; no aching knees, breathlessness and funny manifestations. I am glad I made it to the trip. It would be quite a while for a second trip of this nature.

Look at the majestic bridge; long and slim but yet it was really so achievable. The other walkway in Eco Dusun was more challenging with its narrow path.

It was a pleasant walk when you look down at the lush greenery and thick undergrowth; many travellers take pains just to be in the midst of nature and its natural setting. You have to keep telling yourself that the canopy is created for pleasure and you will enjoy the walk.

Gate 7 . I will remember it. It's not meant for ladies who are not fit.

Gate 7 leads to the most challenging part of the walkway; steep and wobbly. But when you have friends all around you ready to give you support and protection, nothing becomes impossible. But it was a climb.



Ms Goh kept ranting that this was her first and last experience on the walkway. First, I agree but last, no; unless you are older than me I told her. She said that she had never been on one and this very long 530m walk was a challenge. But don't believe her. She did it quite naturally.

His knees giving him problems? Or is he putting on a show? Kang has many tricks up his sleeves but the best attitude and values were portrayed by him throughout the trip. We want to thank him for his organizational skills and were glad to discover so many fine points in him. Thank you Mr. Kang for being such a macho yo yo yo...

She never gives up; a complete believer in the best of a person. She livened the group with her words of encouragement and all out to observe the best qualities in her staff. She commended on the latent skills and qualities of her staff generously !

At times when I feel up to it, I also like to pose and be vain.

Do you like my pose?

So don't play, play. We veterans can do it too .

It was a good walk. It removed our doubts and inhibitions and told us that the mind is the greatest challenge to achievements in life. But the best of all was having friends and colleagues who were by your side for fun, encouragement and play.

The Canopy Walkway was exhilarating.
