Benjamin Sheares Bridge Walk

Meet: Gardens By The Bay MRT (TE22) Passenger Service Centre
When: Thursday 14th August, 5 pm**

**This is a Rain or Shine event. Please take a good lunch or bring along some snacks if you feel hungry along the way. Our walks are usually between 8 - 12 km long. Just so you know, the weather may be hot but as the sun sets, the weather should be cooler.

No gatecrashing, please - The NParks have a group-size limit for visitors!

Please be punctual. You are encouraged to be slightly early to avoid disappointments. There will be 5 minutes grace for attendance taking. Please remember that we cannot wait because this would be unfair to those already present.

Let's walk around the Marina Reservoir and up the Benjamin Sheares Bridge!

The Benjamin Sheares Bridge (Chinese: 薛尔思桥; pinyin: Xūeěrsī Qíao; Malay: Jambatan Benjamin Sheares; Tamil: பென்ஜமின் ஷியர்ஸ் பாலம்) is the longest bridge in Singapore, spanning 1.8 km, and the tallest, at 29 metres (95 ft). It is named after Benjamin Sheares, the second President of Singapore, who died four months before the bridge was opened to the public on 26 September 1981.[2]

The Bridge offers a scenic and panoramic view of the Marina Basin.

We will end by having dinner together at the Golden Mile Food centre.

Event communication will be through the event chat. Please check the event chat on the day of the event so that you will be updated on any changes.

Please keep in mind that I may not respond to messages sent after the walk starts because I will be busy helping the attendees and leading the walk.

Please be sure to RSVP responsibly to help those who are on the waitlist get the chance to come for the walks.

You should confirm your RSVPs the day before the event to allow those on the waitlist time to schedule for the event.

I may, at my discretion, place you in the waitlist so that others can join my walks.

Thank you for your kind understanding.
