Evening Walk @ The Southern Ridges

hey fellow Walkers!

this Saturday is another eventful day..we have our walk at The Southern Ridges!

We will start from Hort Park and end at the Henderson Bridge (the wavey bridge).


ATTIRE
Sporting attire (comfortable clothes, decent enough to go Vivo City for dinner). Sports shoes. Face towels. Water Bottles. Maybe comfortable footwear after the walk like sandals and slippers.


TIME & VENUE
I suppose we can start off from the HORT PARK at about 5.30pm

Non-Drivers listen up! Your job is very simple..just ask your respective drivers to drop you at the Hort Park at about 5.10pm (give the drivers enough time to come back)

Drivers, we have to decide on an arrangement.

The challenge here is that the car park nearest to the Hort Park isn't that near after all. From my estimation, it's about 10mins walk from the car park to the Hort Park. If anyone is still interested in parking at the Hort Park, it's CAR PARK D.

Note: Illegal parking I don't know ah. Maybe can share with fellow drivers if there is.

On the other hand, the car park at our finishing line, CAR PARK 1 (preferred) or 2, is very near to the Henderson Bridge. Hence, more suitable and convenient.

After much thoughts, I think it is rather challenging to transport 20+ people in 4 cars. So, everyone can make their way there themselves. Anyone who wants to car pool, kindly contact each other.


I would think that these few cars would drive...


1) Helen & Tammy & Stacey

2) Colin & Jennifer + Edwin & Tracey??

3) Allan & Lillian & Lynette & Aaron

4) Amos & Valerie & Celine & Cheryl

5) Yiu Seng & Connie + Sharon

6) Daniel & Jolyn & Jerald & Justin


There's still a lot of ambiguity because I do not know who is coming or not. So please confirm attendance so that I can plan efficiently.

This is just a suggestion, any comments and suggestions are definitely welcomed.

If this plan goes, drivers should try to be at CAR PARK 1/2 before 5.20pm. Consideration and courtesy is required from everyone. So that we don't have people coming early and waiting. When there are 3 or 4 drivers there, you guys can flag a cab to the Hort Park.


DINNER

This is still unplanned for. Someone suggest any place nearby that is affordable and decent?

If there is no suggestions, kindly vote for a reasonable budget for 20+ people so that I can go shopping for food outlets.

I think we have to book in advance to ensure we have food.

If it helps, these are some of the (familiar) food outlets nearby:

- No Sign Board Seafood Restaurant ($35 - $45)
- Sushi Tei ($25 - $35)
- Nyonya & Baba ($25 - $35)
- Buona Vista Duck Rice

Estimated prices are quoted from www.hungygowhere.com

That's all from me. Any suggestions or amendments needed just contact me through phone or email also can.

Cheers

Thanks Ron! Good job!
Think leaving the cars at Henderson makes sense. We can then drive somewhere for dinner...not necessary around Henderson. Anyhow, Bouna Vista Duck Rice sounds good or what about Kuku's favourite place where he gets his mee goreng and indian rojak!!! Think it is at Clementi near NUS??

Yes yes, thanks very much Ron!! =)

Heard from mum duck rice may be closed by then. How about fish steamboat at Beach road? They have nice cze char dishes as well!! (Can someone bring camera? *grinz*)

Is it possible to car pool to 4 cars? So the drivers can send people down to Hort park then drive to Henderson to park and then take 1 cab back to meet?
