Back in
the summer of 67 a group of us from St John's went on a
Geography field trip to the Island of Tioman, about 25 miles off
Mersing on the east coast of Malaysia. Most of us had just
finished our A levels and were making the most of our new found
freedom, while just a few were there to further their education.
Tioman
was known at the time as the island used for location filming
for the 1950's musical South Pacific.
While
we were there we decided we would climb the island's highest
peak, Mount Kajang. The story of that ill-fated expedition was
subsequently published in Summit Magazine and duly forgotten.
Confined only to dim and distant memories.
Until
earlier this year! Following the 5th Chandos event in March
Marilyn Waldron recalled seeing the article fairly recently.
Louise(?) Reyniers (her maiden name eludes me but I'm sure
Marilyn will remind me!) still had the magazine!
