今天的目的是祖兰瀑布的顶端,我们必需要走九小时的路程。而且都是往上走,不是平地。
我和队友开始路程前的合影。左到右:吉尔伯特,梁荣,我,龙。我们是古晋探险队!
This is the starting point, its about 9 hours hike to our base camp on top of the plateau. 

这是起点,九小时到高原顶端的路程正式开始。
A lot of these shy grass (Minosa Pudica), and the problem is I'm wearing short pants. I have the scratch marks all over my legs 😱

这里有许多的含羞草,我穿短裤,短袜子,我的脚完蛋。伤痕累累。
This is an abandon logging trail, before this there are several illegal logging happened here, and the respective authorities had am ambush here to stop the illegal logging. After they are bring caught, all it left was this abandon trail. 

这是一条非法伐木的道路,之前有很多非法伐木的活动。庆幸的是这些人被执法单位抓掉了,就是留下这条布满杂草道路。
Its very muddy along the way, and all of us are wearing this rubber shoes, which we called it Kampung Addidas. 

一路都是烂泥,很难走。这就是我们穿的树胶鞋,非常适合这。
There are so many leeched along the way, even in this stream. All of us had a few leeches went into our shoes. And the worse thing is I'm wearing short pant 😩

这里到处都是水蛭,我们的脚,手,身体暴露的地方都有水蛭。我的鞋里面也是有一些,糟糕我还是穿短裤。我的脚完蛋。。。(想哭)
Our pack lunch, deep fried pork, and egg. We are suppose to get one egg, but I worry I don't like the pork, so I get another egg to eat for energy.

这是我的午餐,油炸猪肉,还有鸡蛋。我怕吃不饱,随手有拿了多一粒鸡蛋吃。希望够力气继续走下去。猪肉好硬。。。
We clean our shoes in this stream, and we are reach to go again.

在溪水旁洗刷清洁后,继续上路。
After the shy grass, this is another plantation with thorn. This area are full of plantation with thorns, spines, and prickles. The trail are steep, and with just one wrong grip on the spike plantation, your hand will not look good. 

荆棘植物一大堆,山路又斜又南走,有时失去平衡随手一捉。。。糟糕满手都是刺 😣
Ascending...
上,上
Ascending...
继续上山。。。
Ascending...
继续上山。。。越来越斜
Some part are almost vertical, and we have to use ropes to slowly climb up. 

有些部分太斜了,要用绳子才能够上山。
When you reach mossy forest, you know you are at a high altitude now. 

当你来到苔藓森林,你就是在高海拔了。
Cross a lots of stream along the way, and with every steps I made, most of the time I will have leeches in my shoes. 

走过许多小溪,小溪里一点有水蛭。每次走过,鞋里都会有。
So it didn't help much if apply anti leech spray, because it will be wash away. 

所以就算有擦防水蛭药也没有,都被水洗掉了。凸(艹皿艹 )
Let me check on my legs again see if i ....
呃,感觉怪怪的,让我看看我的脚。。。
sigh...just as I tough. These are two on one toe. Here, not just leeches, there are also a lot of blood sucking flying insect. I got bitten a few on my arms and legs.  

凸(艹皿艹 ) 两条同时吸一样的地方,这里也有很多吸血的蚊虫,有大只的也有小只的。我被叮了几次。
After 9 hours of hike, we finally made it to the very top of Julan Waterfall. And we quickly setup our hammock. The weather doesn't look good that time, it will rain anytime. 

经过九小时的路程,终于到达祖兰瀑布顶端。赶快把我的吊床弄好,气候不是很好,快下雨。
Heavy downpour at around 7pm when we are in the middle of our dinner, so we have to quickly move everything into a temporary made tent, with a dim light and plenty of flying insects flying around the light.

晚上七点多,晚餐到一半,下起大雨来。我们赶快躲进一个临时的帐篷内,有很多飞虫环绕着灯,很难吃饭,食物里都是飞虫。

Usun Apau Exploration, Tallest waterfall in Sarawak Julan Waterfall, Post 01 of 03 乌舜阿包探险记,砂劳越最高瀑布之祖兰瀑布(上)

The Road to Julan River 往祖兰河的道路

We are going to hunt for the highest waterfall in Sarawak, the Julan waterfall. Day one, 274 km, 7 hours, from Miri to Mr Lipau's farmhouse near the Julan bridge.   

我们这次的目标是寻找全砂劳越最高的瀑布,祖兰瀑布。第一天,两百七十四公里路,七小时,从美里开车到居住在祖兰桥附件里保先生的村屋里一晚。

Depart from Miri, our transportation are consist of three 4WD from the Marudi town.
马鲁帝市镇来了三辆四驱车载我们去目的地。
Passby a town called Lapok aka cowboy town as its full of dust. Logging road, and timber camp nearby. Our transporter advice us if we were to drink at the coffee shop, try to get tin drinks, as they don't have fresh water supply here, only depends on rain. 

旅途中,我们经过了一个小镇叫拉波。这里都是灰尘,我们的司机告诉我们说如果在咖啡店喝水,尽量喝罐装水,因为这里没有水源,只能考雨水。

Stop by at the Baram Dam blockage to pickup our guides and porters. This blockage is an important place for the village people to communicate with other village people for the stop Baram dam movement. I'm glad that the campaign manage to stop the construction of the dam for now. 

巴南的水坝路障营有两个,这是其中一个。我们在这里歇会,也随便载我们的导游和搬运工。这个水坝路障营是一个让村民们沟通的地方,让他们反映出他们的反对建立水坝声音的地方。我感到很欣慰他们目前是成功了,希望胜利会永远站在他们这里。
Say NO to Baram dam!!! 不要巴南水坝!!!
Our porters will be sitting at the back of the truck, but pity them have to endure the dust along the way to the Julan river. 

我们的挑夫坐在车斗上面,可怜的他们等下就会变成灰尘人了。我的妈啊~~
Into the logging road, its a wild ride.
开始骑马咯
Stop by a viewing point for a break and photo. Follow my Borneo Explorer facebook page for more update.
停下来歇息。请记得拜访我的婆罗洲探险者来获取更多的最新资料。
Lunch time, and this is the last eating place along the Julan river.
午餐时间,这里是最后的一间饭馆,过了这就没饭吃啦。
The owner of the Sky View Cafe also raise wild boar.

Who cage the cat?!!! They should be free...
这么把猫咪关在笼子里,猫咪应该要自由自在的到处游走才对。
My lunch at about 3pm, its a fried rice. It looks good, but the actual taste...😓
快下午三点,这是我的午餐。照片是很好看,很美味,但是那个炒饭就。。。
A lot of logging truck around here, the logging company are killing our forest. After the late chef minister Adenan pass away, the local told us that the illegal logging activities starts again, and so as the rest of the logging companies.
这里有太多伐木公司开采木桶。村民告诉我们说自从前首席部长阿德南往生后,这里的非法伐木变更猖狂了。政府啊政府,我们砂劳越的森林完蛋了。。。

Unload all our luggage, and get ready for our hike tomorrow.

There is a stream at the back of the longhouse, that is where we clean ourselves up
