Miss-Directions:
Make your way to Plaza Phoenix.
On the left, just after Plaza Phoenix, take EXIT 701 to Taman -Taman Perumahan. This is the last exit with the gantry sign Exit 701 above and is just before the flyover to the toll, which you should not cross.
Set odometer under the EXIT 701 sign and go down the ramp and turn left at the slip at 0.3 Km, just before the traffic lights. Proceed along the winding road passed the Police Station and around the Mosque on your left. Just after the Mosque turn right at 0.8 Km, where there is a small blue sign post to Mudun Methodist Church on the corner of the road that you have turned right into.
Go straight on this road to what appears to be a T junction at 1.2 Km and carefully turn right and follow this road and shortly turn left at 1.5 Km, just before an orange coloured building on the left called Happy Land Music Studio. Follow this road for about 1 km until you reach a housing construction site called Sunway Cheras. Just past this development at 2.4 Km there is a Tarmac ramp on the left, opposite a TNB electrical sub-station, to the Car Park.

Follow this road( Old Gombak Road to Bentong) for several kilometers.
You will pass the old Mimaland, Asli settlement and underneath the Karak highway at a certain point.
Keep going for another couple of kms- you will see a river running beneath you on the left.
Keep an eye out for the stone distance markers on the left of the road and at km 51 for Bentong, you have about 300 metres before the turnoff to the runsite.
There will be a hash sign on a signboard indicating an Adventure Camp at which point turn left onto a small metalled road that lead downhill - at the bottom, there is the entrance to Camp Rebutia - do not enter, but keep right following the road along the river for 200 meters and park on the roadside.
On On is a freebie, courtesy of the hare, and will be at the recreation area at the Linatex plant, which is located back at the elevated roundabout at Batu Caves.
Head back for KL using the same route as above - eg turn right at Mosque (ignoring the signs to go straight on to KL) and follow subsequent signs to KL/Batu Caves and ultimately KL.
Almost immediately after the final left filter turn that takes you down to Jalan Kuching/Old Ipoh Rd, there is a small slip road on the left and a diminutive Linatex signboard.
You will miss it if you are driving too quickly.
Follow the road around and over the railway tracks.
Keep left before the security house and park in the carpark and proceed down the narrow road to On On.
There is a small swimming pool and showers for those so inclined
