Buangkok Forest Trek!

Meet: Kovan MRT (NE13) Passenger Service Centre
When: Sunday 7th September, 4 pm**

SPECIAL NOTE:
*** We are trekking through the forest - there will be MUD especially if it rains. You can put on Shoe Covers to avoid mud on your shoes. Please sign up ONLY if you are ok with this! That said, I'd like you to know that there is a clear trail through. No hacking of the forest is required! :-)***

**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.

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.

This Meetup group is a community-led group by volunteers. Please extend grace in areas of inadequacy. You are most welcome to give constructive feedback; we strive for improvement!

Are you ready to explore some hidden areas from the usual walks? Buangkok Forest offers vegetation so near to civilisation and yet so far!
And despite its name, it's in Hougang.

From a distance, you will see lots of greenery and HDB flats. There are also lots of bird species here. Join us as we trek from Kovan to Punggol through the Buangkok Forest!

See you there :-))

What to bring:
- Shades
- umbrellas
- Water
- Good walking shoes
- Long pants preferred
- Mosquito Repellent
- Shoe Covers (for Mud protection)
- Hiking Pole

This is a Rain or Shine event. Where there are thunderstorms, we will adjourn for coffee or early dinner. We will resume the walk once the rain subsides.

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

Please try to be punctual. There will be 5 minutes grace for attendance taking. Please remember that we cannot wait because this would be unfair to those already present.

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.

As a consideration to others, you should change your RSVP status the day before the event to allow those on the waitlist time to schedule for the event if you can't attend.

If I notice many no-shows despite the RSVPs, I may remove you from the RSVP list so that others can join my walks.

Thank you for your kind understanding.
