Road Trippin’ Alone to Wonosobo

Last year in October 2021, I put another check list on my wishlist. Driving alone all by myself far enough. Actually I dont like the idea of driving alone. But due to Covid-19 Situation and during the pandemic, I get used with driving alone. Surething I love company but for safety situation and condition I choose to be going alone.

Remember on my last post I visited Lawu with Siksorogo friends from Solo. I made friend with some of them and he loves my idea to clim Sumbing Sindoro. Because I REALLLY REALLLLLYY wanna go there. So I took my day off and drive to Wonosobo but before that I had to picked up my friend, Yurin, at Salatiga.

Since none at home at that time, I had to putted my cats at petshop. So I can drive peacefully. 

I left my home around 9am after make sure everything safe and good. On 12pm I already arrived at Cipali toll (around 250km). I stopped at nearby Rest Area because I was really hungry. If you ever drive in Cipali toll you will understand how bored the road. The only things that I could do only was singing a long so I put karaoke and old school playlist on my Spotify.

And on 5pm I arrived at Salatiga, Yurin’s home. I stayed at his home for a night and drive to Wonosobo at 3am. We arrived at Garung Basecamp at 4am and start hike on 4.30am. It was still dark and cold, the basecamp gate not open yet but we keep continue to hike.

We reached first pos at 5.30 and the sun almost rise. Back at that day I was not in good shape ahahah… My was hardly ever run and do the long run.. but I still went to trail but only at Sentul for a easy 10-15k. And sometimes went to Bandung, climbing and bit have fun. The point is I was less motivated, because it was lockdown and almost no offline race (I dont really fance virtual race).
