#49 (OTHER SIDE OF LAWU)

Tuesday, December 12, 2017

I decide to begin my journey again, after stuck for a year. Yeah, it's simply cool. All begin when i was inspired by a book. It's tell about hiking mountain. Thx for ur good story, so inspiring. After reading, i think in my mind, maybe the time is coming, time for hike again. So, for the first, looking for friends, and finally four persons joined. I tell'em, that our destination is Lawu Mountain, familiar place for us. Many of them has climbed it, but for the new experience, we choose the new track, Candi Cetho. It's located on Karanganyar, Central Java. Saturday at 5 am, we begin the journey by motorcycle. The views around us are so beautiful, but poorly, no one took it.



We are four person passed the basecamp at 11.30 pm, after registration and praying, the mountain is ready to be climbed. Candi Cetho's track is so long, absolutely spent so much time. Thirty minutes, the distance between basecamp and first rest area. Also the second rest area. We got so long time when walking for third and fourth rest area. It's really got us tired. At 4 pm, we decide to build a tent, stop, in order to pray shubuh and sleep. Cooking, taking a rest, and trying to laugh. Wake up at 8 pm, hiking continued to fiveth rest area. For me, this is very special moment, seeing the beautiful place i ever seen in Lawu, other side of it. We found a really big savana, green colour, and unforgetable for me. Called as Gupakan Menjangan, all climber ussually stop there, sitting, relax their self, also to fill their bootle with water. 

gupakan menjangan, beautiful and big savana
If someday u go to visit this place, just try to hike for Candi Cetho, it's my opinion. There is no sixth rest area, it's already the peak. After walking for hour, we dicide to build a tent more. Before summit attack. The place is so cool, u can see all over Karanganyar until Solo up there. Honestly, i have no willing more to go to the summit, i've seen it for twice. But, my friend asking to join, i can't reject it. The weather is not friendly, it's rain on the peak. We not spent so much time there, only for a few minutes and go back to our tent. Like ussual, cooking, take a rest, laugh loudly, we are really getting enough with all the view. But, on the other hand, we got a fault, very important thing on hiking, we have no lamp, how can we pass the dark without light?.

our tent, full of memories
I suppose to u to bring lamp before hiking, never look down on it. We are wasting so long time in forest, coz lightless. Can u imagine?, it's really scary moment for me. But finally, we found the path that bring us to basecamp. Directly, i do sujud syukr . Thanks Allah for giving us so many rahmah, forgive our stupid action. From this hiking, i can conclude two thing. First, mountain always give us so many insight and knowledge. Ur strength is useless there, but our patient is important. Therefore, try to grow ur patient more than strength while hiking or climbing mountain. Second, never look down on every little thing. It will bring a big negative impact for u. May this article is worth enough, also give u new experince and insight. Thanks for reading, see u again. Wassalam !.
