Klava Fellowship Outings for Oct 2006
Hi folks! Another year has passed since we last organized an outing to somewhere for a run cum food discovery trip. Throughout the year there were so many running & walking events that most of us were busy & don’t have time to get-together to have our very own program. As usual, it is only now during the fasting month that there are no public event to clash & affect partition. The only regret is our Muslim friends may not be able to join us for obvious reason. Yours truly intend to organize 2 outings, that is; on 1st Oct 2006 (Sun) & 8th Oct 2006 (Sun). For details, pls. read below.
1st Oct 2006 RAUB RUN CUM FOOD DISCOVERY Plan: a) Nice location with option for easy walk/run or LSD(long slow distance). Somewhere different for a change from the usual same old route. Ideally, the place must be shady so that it won't be hot when the sun comes out! b) Good food. Something special or famous, preferably a place where one has not eaten before or would likes to come back again and again! Objective: Where to find a place which has the best of both these lah!? Found: Road lined with overhanging trees on both sides, providing shade plus famous curry fish head plus well known roasted peanuts. Name of place: Raub Town. (About ½ hour north of Bentong). Exercise venue: Road where Mahkamah (Court) Raub is situated. Topography: Gentle uphill approx=0.8km.Total distance up and down=1.6km (Note: this is ‘de’ place where the Raub folks go for their regular exercise). Transport: Can assist to arrange. Meeting place\Time: 6:30am, Sunday 1/10/06 just after the KL/Gombak (?) Toll Plaza on the highway to Genting/Kuantan. Or preferably at Raub Town itself, at the road to Mahkamah Raub. (Those who reach earlier can proceed with their walk/jog without waiting 'cos the road is one way up and down and therefore bound to meet each other) Arrival time: Approx: 8:00am Expenses:Own expense via shared basis (estimated per pax. RM20 to 30 inclusive). What to bring: Yourself! Seriously, you can bring your family or friend if any. Also, to bring towel and clothing if you feel more comfortable changing after the exercise which is highly recommended. Closing date: Nil. but pls. confirm ASAP in order to arrange for carpooling.
