2 mounts ago, exactly at march 2010. I climbed in arjuno mountain. Did you know that I was member of himapala. A nature lovers organisation in state university of surabaya.
we were there for 3 days. First day I went to lawang (malang). I went to there by train. It needed 2 hours. After I had arrived in the lawang train station, I got a mini truck to go to wonosari exacty in the tea garden malang. Wonosari was a premire “ DOOR” to hike top of arjuno. We hiked from wonosari to pos II in arjuno it needed 2 hours, but I felt very tired and “LETOY” so I needed 3 hours to get POS II. After I had arrived in POS II at 11 pm, I made a natural bivaks. And then I ate a rice and snack so more drinks.and then I slept until morning.
In the morning cold, I got up. First activity was a land navigation, I had to strike of top arjuno used compas, my group got a angle of compas, I found the angle was 2160 from north. then our group started. Our group followed a bad area. There was many “alang – alang” and a big stone. I was stupid boy, why? I didn’t use a hand gloves. When we had pass that way. So My hand was break and there was many injury.
We continued my adventure to top of arjuno, I followed ravine did you know after I walked about 2 metres I was panic because I crased to “Ravine”, That moment was my bad experience in the world of my life. after that we continued to POS III, I arrived at 6.30 pm and rest a few minutes, after that we walked to Pos 4 , I remember that the distance was 6 km. so I arrived in POS 4 at 10 pm.
A next day, we started adventure, I can saw the top, the top was wonderfull, the view was great And spectaculler. if you saw, maybe you will said more than it. and than we arrived in the top at 12 am, I saw world heaven, and I can saw other city likes, surabaya, mojokerto,malang,beach of madura island, SEMERU mountain, and any more.
That was my experience………………………….
