My dream to conquered Lumbong Rentap in Bukit Sibau, Pakan have come through after we visited the place on 22 March 2008. From Rh Jantan, Ng Tebok, we walked through few stream, pepper garden and "few hilly areas" before we reached Lumbong Rentap. The journey is very interesting for 10 of us. Unfortunately only 9 manage to complete the mission. From this trip we have learn a lots of thing especially on how to control our stamina and attire that we wear.
