Cross Crocker Range

Haji Amran with his Yamaha Dt.


Checking out the breaking system on one of the bikes, the downhill was so rough till jammed up one of the brakes and we had lost our special lunch of "roti canai" after the bumpy downhill. Its a kinda scary coz it was a long bumpy rocky downhill and a 3oofeet drop next to it..













The maps that we used to track down the abandoned old lodging roads from Ranau to Kota Marudu that cover around 180km rough and muddy deep juggle roads.











Haji Amran with his pose on the first river that we crossed. riding on his old skool Yamaha DT, really smokey 2strokes bikes.












Its a rough trip that i couldnt forget with the total coverage of 600km in one day.. Start to depart from Kota Kinabalu at 8 o'clock in the morning and arrive in Ranau around 10:30 in the morning..



its a new trip that never bein explore. search trough the google earth the night before and abit help from topografi maps that bought by our offroads veteran Haji Ambran..taking us for and about 3hours for the rocky old lodging roads, crossing 6 rivers and several stops for refueling. and even some of the locals that we meets didnt know that the roads that we are taking could bein use to our destination Kota Marudu small town.
