Date          : 18 Sept 2016
Location   : Kota Warisan, Sepang, Selangor
Weather    : Cloudy - Sunny

Sunday morning ride at Kota Warisan in Sepang near Dengkil town on the way to the KL International Airport, KLIA.

There was a heavy shower in the early morning and the initial cloudy sky made for good weather to cycle into the mainly oil palm estate. The group of riders consisted of members from Titanium and uGo-iGo groups

The highlight of the ride was the view on the top hill with the electrical towers/pylons. The double electrical towers were traversing the landscape in an approximate East-West heading

Halfway through the ride after crossing under the Elite highway via a road tunnel, we met up with 3 horse riders giving their steeds an early morning exercise.  It was a good opportunity to chat with them and to snap a few group pictures.

Pic 9: Route details

This ride lead to some questions on the safety of the electrical towers on the top of the hill.
Is is safe to go near the electrical towers?
Is it safe to touch the steel members of the tower  (see Pic.1) ?
If its a danger to public, shouldn't the area be fenced up? (see Pic 10 : No fencing nor Signages)

Any experts out there? Care to comment/advise?
