Even though the trail is not yet compete, hikers* are welcome to use the trail, as a little use will help in the compaction process. Look out for the sign above on the Scouts Trail, which points to the trailhead for the new trail. We are toying with the idea of naming the trail "Denai Temuan" or "Temuan Trail", which I think would be appropriate given that much of the trail was built with the hard work of the chaps from Desa Temuan in Damansara Perdana.
My objective for the day was to construct a new switchback on the trail to replace one that was too steep and sharp, and to this end had initially set up the camera to take time-lapse photos to record the trail building process. The idea was to turn the photos into a video. Unfortunately, it had started raining, so I had to pack the camera away. Instead, check out the before and after photos below. That's 3 hours' work for about 3 metres of finished trail. Pretty slow going!
Before.
After.
* but not mountain bikers! Yet. You'll have to wait until April, sorry.

Super nice...
All by yourself, Joe? Salute! I wouldn't last for15 minutes if I were to do it alone...
Good job Joe. The mtb community owes much to you and the guys who have worked hard to finish the trail. Hopefully I'll be able to one day ride on the soon to be completed trail when I come down from Penang.
Love the signboard Joe.
Thanks for the kind words guys. Actually, I prefer the days that I can go out on my own. Usually, during the traildays, I'm supervising work so don't actually get much trail work done myself. When I am on my own, I can get into the "zone", and it's very satisfying to get a bit of trail done just right.
Funny Joe, that's exactly the same thing Pat told me a week ago. :)
good job..very nice
