Cameron Highlands MDR

Cameron Highlands MDR – Strawberry Park Resort – 29^th April – 1^st May 2017

Come and enjoy the cool tranquil surroundings of the Cameron Highlands with HOG on Saturday 29^th April through to Monday the 1^st May 2017. From your first lungful of fragrant highland air, sweat and stress evaporate. In Malaysia's largest hill-station area, the breeze is freshened by eucalyptus, fuzzy tea plantations roll into the distance, and strawberry farms snooze under huge awnings.

Named after explorer Sir William Cameron, who mapped the area in 1885, the highlands were developed during the British colonial period. Gardens, bungalows and even a golf course sprang up during the 1930s, making the Cameron Highlands a refuge from the heat and a chance to relax.

Temperatures in these 1300m to 1829m heights in April/May average a high of 23°C, and a low of 16°C – so a long sleeved sweater might be a requirement in the evenings. This fresh climate will inspire you to pick strawberries and enjoy afternoon tea.

Push off will be early Saturday morning from GP  from where we will ride towards Ipoh and turn right to head up into the plateau to our hotel, the Strawberry Park Resort, close to location of “Moonlight” bungalow; the scene of the mysterious disappearance of Jim Thompson in 1967. There will be welcome drinks upon arrival, and wet towels to “de-grime”.
