Fitness Adventure : Hiking Up Penang Hill [From Middle Train Station via Farm Trails]

So far I've hiked up Penang Hill twice. Both times starting from Persiaran Taman Cantik and hiking to the Middle Train Station, details in my post Fitness Adventure : Hiking Up Penang Hill [Air Itam]

From the Middle Train Station of the Penang Hill Train, I've tried two ways to hike up all the way to the top. The first time I hiked up, I used the farm trails. If you're standing at the station, looking up Penang Hill, the farm trail is to the left of the station. You'll see steps on the left of the train tracks. The trail starts around there. 

Don't give up, you'll reach the top

I started endomondo at the bridge on Persiaran Taman Cantik and turned it off when I reached the one of the roads at the top of the hill. So there's a bit more to walk until you reach the station. It's flat so it will feel super easy after the steep hike. You can see a few switch-backs along the path. You'll even go through farms. I saw beautiful blooming flowers and some other plants growing really well.
