Look like a good outing.
1) why was my name mention here? Ranger? OK make sure you keep the park clean, no smoking in the park. Most important don't bring the insects home.
2) You are asking what to bring to the park, water, hat, etc etc... so no need to bring camera, you think you going for an excursion. Bring extra batteries, spare card, wear comfortable shoe & money to buy drink or lunch.

Wish you all have a fun outing.... one last thing, go to the washroom first at Sakura before start shooting cause no washroom elsewhere in the park.

this my detail

Name: Benjamin
Handphone: 90051484
*Member who are late for the Woodlands MRT station meeting at 7.30AM,give me a call at my handphone :)


3 days to the 6 March 2010

*********************Take note:*************************

Saturday, March 6th, 2010 wheather

Saturday Morning Temperature: 30°C
Mostly sunny. Chance of a thunderstorm


Saturday Afternoon Temperature: 37°C
Sunny. Slight chance of a thunderstorm





Meeting point: Woodlands MRT station (Meet at 7.30am)

optional
We can have a little breakfast if we have time :)

Start shooting at 8.30am


I have discussed the gathering meeting point with Peterpan. To make things simple for our 1st macro gathering... so that no one get lost on that day...otherwise park ranger James and newbie organiser Peterpan will be very busy.

As per the AP map in the link below --
http://www.navalbasesec.moe.edu.sg/w...Park map.JPG

For those taking train, we meet at Woodland MRT station before we walk over to AP via the South Entrance. As we walk in, we will meet up with the group at the West entrance car park near the Sakura restuarant/pond area.

For those driving, we suggest to park at the West entrance car park just above the Sakura restuarant/pond area. There will be parking charges at this car park. This car park is nearest to the South entrance. All of us will be meeting around this card park before we proceed to the park for shooting.

For those who want free parking. The North entrance car park is the one but it is not easy to locate. However, it will take quite a while to walk from North to West/South entrance. If you park there, you have to be early and then proceed to walk towards the West entrance on your own.

So in all, we will ALL meet at one common place and proceed as one group. The place will be the West entrance car park where the prominent location is the Sakura resturant and pond.


If still not sure, just ask again.



2}Admiralty Park hot and humid is better to bring
2.1} water bottle
2.2} Cap/Hat
2.3} Towel
2.4} Insect repellent {optional}


Optional: Bring a tripod or monopod

After the marco close up Gathering, We will head to woodland McDonald's, and have lunch and discuss about what we done
and share idea

Just a reminder or warning, do not wait at the west car park itself go down the slope and meet around pond area. At that time a group of monkeys roaming around the West car park, afraid monkeys will take away your bag or cam. Thank you for reading and have fun.
