During a trip organised by Ngah Ibrahim and Hafiz, Rahim Paul, Fahmi and I visited a waterfall in the Dal river, on the slopes of Gunung Bubu. Easy access.

Above the waterfall there is a slide, popular with the local youth. We did not slide down, but enjoyed the falling water

On 3 October 2020 I visited the waterfall again, this time guided by another waterfall friend, Syafiqi. I had read about a water slide, Menggelunchor near Kuala Kangsar, popular in the early colonial days, and Syafiqi knew the location.

I was very excited to visit this early tourist attraction, and had completely forgotten that I had visited it six years earlier. I only found out after I had written a report about this Menggelunchor!
