Rombongan Cik Kiah ke Peak District


The Peak District, Derbyshire

Newly established Cik Kiah UK Branch:

My plan to go out and seek the nature in UK's country side was very brief when I proposed for all the UTPians in Manchester to get together on an outing we all will remember. Linda Ong and K Zura (AF) were my priority. Somehow, when I told them the idea of going camping out in the nature, they liked it. I missed nature, and I'd love to see the country side. It will be either Lake District or Peak District for our first outing that shall cover at least 2 interesting places nearby the main destination. We made plans, but at the last minute, Linda had to withdraw herself out. She said she would have to committ on her dissertation so that it will finish early. I wish you all the best Linda, we missed you though.

The two of us were determined to get the plans going, hence we open up the offer to several of the girls that I think would be interested with the plans. We were lucky enough to get another 4 girls to join this trip. We rent an MPV (Corrolla Verso VVT) which was really nice and booked a hostel in Edale to spend the night. Although pitching up a tent sounds very tempting, I hesitated at the idea because we weren't prepared for it.

I am not good at writing travel experiences, that's the reason I have only the itineries here.
