Run-site: Batang Kali Estate (Ladang Batang Kali)
Travel Time: around an hour
Date: Sunday 3rd August, 2025
Hare: Oscar French
Co-Hares: Marcus and Lucas
Registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm
The French boys (who are actually English/Malaysian) are setting our August run, in a place they know very well, so we can expect some fun trails and scenic viewpoints!
Please sign in when you arrive:
- Members please remember to mark the registration sheet.
- Guests fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.
and PLEASE remember to sign out when you get back from the trail, so we know that nobody is lost. It’s very tempting to jump straight into the stream when you get back, and sit there for three hours, but please sign out first!
As usual, we will have hot-dogs after the run, and drinks for the young and the old, so don’t forget to bring some change.
Directions
The dirt road starts here, just after you turn off the main road:
You can also ask Waze or Google Maps for “Jalan Ladang Ligamas”
The run-site is further in – you need to turn right onto an earth/gravel road and continue straight for a bit more than 1km, until you see some hashmobiles.
The plantation workers were levelling some bumpy/muddy bits last Saturday, so it should be good for this Sunday.
This Waze link should take you almost all the way to the run-site (just continue straight a little bit more), but if you put the same coordinates into Google Maps it will take you the wrong way, past an orchid farm.
To make sure you don’t get lost, it’s also a good idea to read the directions below:
Detailed Driving Directions
• Get to Ulu Yam Baru any way
The B23 Jalan Hulu Yam Baru-Batu Caves road is a good way from most starting points, but you can also go through Serendah (use the Rawang or Sungei Buaya exit from the N-S highway) and Antara Gapi
• Zero your tripmeter at the bridge over Sungei Liam, just before you enter Ulu Yam Baru town.
• At the t-junction immediately after the bridge, turn LEFT towards town.
• At 0.9km, in the middle of town, turn RIGHT onto the B113 towards Genting Highlands.
• Pass the Balai Polis on your left.
• At about 2.1km the road bends sharply to the left.
TURN RIGHT HERE AT THE SIGN ‘LADANG BATANG KALI’ (small tarmac road)
• Then take the first right, before the small estate manager’s house, into the estate (earth track) and continue about 1.3 kilometres to the run-site – this is about 300 metres past the run-site we’ve used before.
The track is OK, but some parts are a bit tricky for low-clearance sports cars, so we suggest you leave the Ferrari at home and bring the Perodua instead.
The runsite has plenty of parking near a small stream.
On On!
