LROM Adventure to the South By A weekend of fun and trill in Sg. Mas and Sg Melantai. 7 vehicles from various make Range Rover, Def 110, Def 90 , Disco,lC, Hilux and a Triton. We arrived early morning at the entrance of the Sg Mas and was greeted by various govt Dept and NGO who is manning the jungle. We would like to Thanks all department involved esp Forestry of Kahang 28 for approving our permit to enter the jungle of Forest Reserve. To all the below Department for their co operation. Terima Kasih. 1 Jabatan Hutan Kahang 28 2.Jabatan Penghilitan, Mersing 3.PDRM Mersing 4.Kulim Guard Sdn.Bhd. 6.Wildlife Conservation Society 7.other NGO's. We took 7 hours to reach our campsite going through more than 16 bridges and gaps without much work as all the bridges are still intact. The first thing that we saw along the trail is the rubbish everywhere esp at the campsite of Sg. Melantai. We have to camp on the track as the sides are full of rubbish. The next day we drove around the track lead by Rate who is familiar with the trail. We met a group of off roaders (4 vehicle ) from Beko Direction. They are not sure where they are heading and when we ask if they have a permit to enter they said no. The best is to back track after seeing they have kids and one of their cars is on 2 wheels advised Rate. Further they have guns in their car that are not permitted. Malaysian will never learn or even read papers. The illegal hunting is not allowed esp in a Forest Reserve. We contimued with our driving and come across another 5 4WD in the Hulu Mas area There's a toyota with Tmn. Negara sticker and these off roaders are from Kota Tinggi. We left after saying hello. We continue with our driving to the moutain where we came a upon a opening area where old markers is everywhere. It was a Special Stage area of International Rainforest Challenge which held there 2009. Their poles, marker, RFC SS board , mineral bottles are everywhere. We clear off some as it too tedious to collect back all the rubbish thrown there. The boys head back to the campsite for swimming after clearing much of rubbish that we could take out. Getting out the track was quiet easy only 5 hrs and we were lucky to escape the heavy thunderstorm that hit after we clear all the obstacles. Thank you to all for the great adventure in Johore.	LROM CHARITY DRIVE 2010 By Alyna Tai 16th May, 2010 - Jalan Duta Sunday morning Getting the lrom members to sacrifice their sunday waking up early is my fault. I have no choice since the sick and the elderly needs to eat early. But To my surprises the unexpected was over whelming only one car did not appear as he could not wake up on time. Syabas to all the contributors and thank you for the support. Lrom Boleh!!
G.Ais III-Getting Out By Alyna Tai	Gunung Ais III 2010 By Alyna Tai Every Experience is Unique. This is the third time the lrom been to G.Ais and each time we have a different kind of experience. With the dry weather it was so much easier for us cos as before we were all prepared for the worse. This time we have a smaller group as the 5 non members which supposed to join us decided to go earlier and went a different way instead. We noticed some tyres mark but only counted 3 cars ahead of us then as we go further we noticed some tyres mark that turns into a wrong direction to another campsite. We were very sure it was not the 5 cars ahead of us as soon as we meet up two Jeep and a suzuki. They were working on their car and some were cooking Maggi. I told them to pick up their wrappers they throw in the bushes. Very annoyed too as one of them were with a shot gun. They did mumble they afraid there will be Tigers in the jungle. All went well as we reach our campsite earlier and had the best of our Labour Day holidays.

Telemong-Landrovers affairs By Alyna Tai A private trip by Shah, Xmen and Blackhawk to test out Durai's new SIII to Telemong last weekend. It turns out to be a "pesta" as USJ came in 4 cars and flipped one during their early morning drive 1.30am. We were awaken hearing the commotions thinking a car roll down ravine but due to the river swell we could do nothing to cross over to help. They were signalling SOS with torch. Atek and boys wanted to swim across which i don't agreed as the water was too swift. They came in the heavy rain (dangerous drive) in the slippery downhill with too much drinking too. Then came the morning another 4 cars from Bera4x4 newbies lead by their so called leader. They also flipped one car a Pajero that was winch out by Satren and atek. After getting them out they drove to campsite for picnic and drove out leaving their flipped car again stalled in the middle of track. The rest went off without thinking of others. These kind of irresponsible people should be condemned. We tried to winch the abandon car to the side not knowing the car is without brakes and the car bang into our def causing much damage.The Pajero boy again came back to seek for help to tow his car out to the junction as he walked in to repair with a mechanic. This guy don’t even have a strap or shackle so having no choice atek , Kumar, Shah, Durai and friends tow him out in Kumar’s car. The boy wanted to join Lrom club but was rejected by Atek and he got a good long lecture too. Do not drink and drive and be responsible of the people u bring into off roading. Don't cause inconvenience and risking other peoples life.
