  Taking advantage of the CNY holidays and the minimum  traffic on the road, I decided to take a drive along the proposed routes of the East West Drive.  While I was enjoying my drive I thought I might as well reconnoiter the routes that we are taking to make the drive more successful.  
  I shall put in a few tulips and photo shots wherever possible to help all members aware of the route just in case we get separated.  First let me explain the nomenclature of a tulip.  A tulip is a symbol that gives information to as close as possible to the route it symbolizes.   
  The distances in km indicated are cumulative distances for a particular leg of the route.  The margin of accuracy is about 98% based on my trip meter.
Time shown are real clock time.
I shall present the report in a chronological order as I travel.

Discussion. This is about the best place to take a break for the KL group, after driving for 2 hours and 162.7 km. Parking space is ample. As this place is only 50 km from the junction where the S’pore will take coming from Segamat. Estb contact with S’pore Gp so that we can pace our move.
