Mersing Expedition - 20-22 July

Post by rcj »

Hi all,

The next Mersing expedition will be on 20-22 July new moon weekend. This could be a sizable group moving up, majority in the evening 6-7ish. However, if there are enough participants for an afternoon departure, you could well arrive before sunset, otherwise evening batch arrival would be about 10PM that Friday night. As usual, we will all be back in Singapore by mid-afternoon on following Sunday. Trip fees will encompass most meals, two-way a/c mini-bus transport and a/c chalet accommodation (twin/triple-sharing). Get a chance to catch the summer milky way at this time of the year in it's full glory, before the wintry constellations set in, not that they are any less amazing.

Interested parties please send an email to remuscj at gmail dot com with your full name, equipment (if any, for declaration purposes), and contact number.

Date of Expedition: 20th July 2012.
Time of departure: TBD depending on demand and size of group.
Trip Fees: SGD$160.


Clear Skies out!
