Last suggested location: MacRitchie Reservior.
Anymore place else is good?

 

[rasserie]

where was the last get together held? macritchie?

 

[rasserie]

macritchie sounds like a good idea especially since its smacked right in the middle of singapore

 

[Zeruel]

where was the last get together held? macritchie?

Last were a trail walk at Lower Pierce.
A hike was suggested for MacRitchie next round.

 

[rasserie]

any pics of the last meetup?

 

[rasserie]

where is the exact trail planned?

 

[Zeruel]

any pics of the last meetup?

No pics other than the "loot" pic of our lights in the last thread. Everyone was too busy testing and borrowing lights, lighting tress across the reservoir, looking for night creatures and scaring one couple with our blazing glory.

where is the exact trail planned?

No trail plan yet. I suggest we start from the pavilion nearest to the bus stop.

 

[rasserie]

wats the length of the trail u guys usually embark? 1km?

 

[chanjyj]

Wah. Hike.. I think I pengsan after that. Can shorten it to a walk?
A separate issue - is it possible to get there via public transport?

If you all are driving or call pooling, there is an area which I've been advised is really ulu. (ulu = no lights?)

Changi Coast Road "Lampost 171"
Behind Changi Airport (Via Driving Only) Beautiful place, no crowd, no man's land, huge desert, about 20mins drive from the main road. Accessible only on weekends. Till date, only 4X4 and some LGV can drive right to the end, saloon cars better don't try. About an hour walk from the enterance. Nice scenery all day and night.

 

[roadie]

how abt good old bukit timah hill, like my fav place : dairy farm

plenty of big field with plenty of hills



accessible by main road within 20 mins walk.

will it pose any problems with the authorities especially since we are gonna be shooting megawatts lighting into the sky.

and the idea of requiring 4wd just to get there sort of kills everything. LOL

Shouldn't lah. Considering the fact that some photographers use studio strobes there which shoot (millions?) of lumens.

 

[Zeruel]

1) MacRitchie Reservoir (Hike not confirm)
2) Bukit Timah Hill
3)
4)

Nearer to the date, I suggest we confirm the place by voting from those who will be going.

 

[rasserie]

Guesstimated to be 1km+. Sore-Eyez or Neoro might have a better idea.

May I suggest those who're coming to put down a wish list (up to 3?), in hope others who have those lights will bring them? Feasible?

For example,
Lights I wish to see:
- Olight M30
- Jetbeam M1X
