After a busy week finishing off various projects for another craft fair at the weekend I took some time off on Sunday to get together with a group of friends to do a rain forest walk. We went to Lambir National Park which is just over the border from us in neighbouring Sarawak. It isn’t a very large national park but contains a rich variety of trees and plants, and I have used photos that I have taken there as inspiration for the majority of rain forest wall hangings that I have designed and made.

We set off quite late,there was a queue at the border and it was almost midday by the time we set off and so we didn’t see much in the way of wildlife. We’ve had a lot of rain recently so the paths were quite wet underfoot and there were a lot of leeches, but we reached the waterfall which was our destination without mishap. After walking for an hour we were all hot and sweaty so it was refreshing to plunge into surprisingly cold water of the forest pool and cool down.
