Hiking around Penang

One of our cousins is an avid outdoorsy athlete. He's a hiker, cyclist and photographer. Following his social media accounts makes me feel like I too have gone out with him on a hot sunny day, and I miss doing that so much! 

Penang Monthly magazine recently covered hikes around Penang, and we thought we'd share it with you too! The Penang Hill Forest Challenge sounds really fun, and the author invited a few of his friends on this adventure, that he warns is no easy feat. Starting from Teluk Bahang, the hike will take you through to the centre of the island to the top of Penang Hill.
