ROUTE MARCH!
Remember to bring umbrella!
Since, the incomplete journey in the last route march due to the guy upstairs flooding the bathroom. I had decided to go for 2nd attempt of route march from Macritchie Reservior to Bukit Timah Hill Summit.
Journey content:
You will be walking along the wooden path of Macritchie Reservior Park where you will be admiring the landscape of natural vegetation. Be careful on the golf balls, turtle and giant lizards along the way. Next you will be accompanying the SAF personals along their training area. Be careful of signal army personal, securities and also the monkeys. You will be also passying by the famous 3 big stallite dish. Next we will walk to the biking path to the bukit timah hill, which we will be greeted by the bikers along the way. Next is the climb to the hill top and lastly the natural landscape of the Bukit Timah quarry where famous for Birds shooting.

We may need Group ICs if the group is getting bigger.
The responsibilities of the Group ICs need to familiarize each stopping points along the journey and control the movement of the group they in-charge.
We may need a Group IC for each group of 5.
We need volunteers for Group ICs (Each group ICs will be managing 4 people throughout the trip)
1) phoakm
2) lkkang
3) kuantoh
4)
5)
Those who are driving, please park your vehicles at home unless you want to walk all the way back to starting point.
BTW, no bananas, as feeding monkeys are prohibited except PUI PUI.
Please take note this is not a 100% photography outing, the objective of "Route March" is to keep our members fit. We will not be stopping too often for photo taking else not be able to complete the route within the planned time. 75% Hiking 25% photography. The route is about 8km+
For participants who haven't joined any of the TS outings, please PM your name and contact number to Redsun for attendance purpose.
Please also be puntual for the outing. The latest set off time will be around 7.30pm at the meeting point, which is 2 Bus Stops in front of Macritchie Reservior (Along Lorine Road to Thomson Road). We will not be waiting for late commers as it takes time to complete the whole route.
Finally, please have enough rest and hydrate yourself well before the outing. Cheers!
