In 2005 I travelled to Borneo. I first flew into Miri where I met up with the rest of the group. The next morning took a flight out to the Mulu National Park. We spent a day here before starting a 4 day rainforest trek, first by boat down the river and then on foot to Camp 5 where we spent 2 nights. On the intervening day we climbed up the peak behind the camp to view the limestone pinnacles. This was a strenuous and steep climb in very hot and humid conditions.<\/p>\n

The next day we trekked out but our boat failed to meet us at the end and we ended up with an unscheduled stop at a forest ranger post. The following day we took a boat down river to Limbang, stopping off to visit a village longhouse. After a welcome overnight in a hotel we took a river bus to Labuang and then a further boat up the coast to Kota Kinabalu. The next morning we took an early flight across to Sandakan where we travelled on to a refuge for Orangutan and then on to the nature reserve at the River Kinabatangan. After a couple of nights there, we travelled on to Mount Kinabalu which we climbed the following day, spending a night at the high hut and then descending the following day and then travelling back to Kota Kinabalu. After final day there it was back home to the UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n \t
