2011 KL/Fraser Butt Chase

[Silverstreak]

Let me start the ball rolling with just the smallest butt first .

The weather was kind , the hill was steep , but the lure of Ritra, Blue Begum ,Red Base Jezebel and Purple Sapphire and the excellent shooting companions was just too irresistible.

Many Thanks to LC for organizing the trip and putting us up for the nite at his beautiful home and the transport to and fro KL/Fraser's Hill .

Thanks to Ellen for the excellent steak Dinner at Fraser's Hill in celebrating her passing ACCA. !

By the last day Ellen was suffering from butt fatigue and refused to move her butt down to the riverside puddling ground .

I can only process a few shots at a sitting hence it will come in drips....

Thanks to LC's familiarity with this species , he has been monitoring them for more than 3 years . It took us 5 hours and a round trip of 8km to nail him....... the trek sure worn out Ellen, needed "porters" to carry her gear and bag on the return leg .........and a 300 Plus replenishment.

Les has being there before , he knows how tiring is the trek to the top of the hill ..... not just Ellen, in fact we were all bushed . LC has announced he will not bring any more guys up that way ....unless you can provide him a sedan chair and a bucket full of ice-cold beers on board.

......she was flat-out



LC and Nelson took over the load of her camera and bag....... Me ? I took the shots and was ready to give her a little nudge to roll down the hill!!


It was such a hot day, at the top of the hill most of our water bottles were almost empty. The return leg was a struggle against thirst and wobbly legs. Ellen needed a "300 Plus" to quench her thirst when we made it to the park's canteen.
