By Caroline TCW Students of PTEK's Jogging and Hiking Club pose for a group photo. - CAROLINE TCW The Jogging and Hiking Club of Katok Sixth Form Centre (PTEK) recently ventured out to Bukit Shahbandar in an attempt to hike up all 16 hills. The excursion, which involved some 15 students and seven teachers, was accomplished in less than three hours after a 10-minute warming up period that was led by the club's new president, Sahli Salleh. The hike, which promptly began at 8am, took place on a beautiful day and students could hear the roar of jet engines as fighter planes flew back and forth across the blue sky. Taking into consideration the different strengths and weaknesses possessed by the hikers of the group, the outdoor activity was a good platform for cooperation between members of the club as they all aspired to conquer the 16 hills. Covered with perspiration and smiles, the hikers succeeded in scaling the final hill at around 10.45am. With a great sense of achievement, the hikers then proceeded to a teacher's residence for refreshments at the end of the trip.
