For those who drive, you need to take a bus back to Venus drive to collect your car after the walk.

Please try your best to be on time so that we can end the walk early and have more time for lunch and drinks. We will not wait due to late starting time. Do catch us at Ranger station if you miss us. For those who don't feel well or need to walk slowly, please feel free to do so but make sure you are paired up with one or two persons fit enough to take care of you. We will wait for everyone to gather at front entrance before proceeding for lunch. Should you decide to leave half way, detour or walk another way ( which is not advisable ) please let me know or get someone to inform me so that we do not need to wait for you. It is best to stick with the group. We will walk for an hour before we come to the only ranger station (with clean restrooms and water cooler facilities). You are advise to "go" and also refill your water bottle as you need to walk for another two to three hours before reaching the end point (with restrooms).
Do get enough sleep the night before.
