Night Hike 23 Sep 2023

By Kookaburra Sixer Liang Junchen

On Saturday Night, we had a night hike. We met in school at 5:30pm. We had to gather in front of the library. A lot of people were talking as many were very excited. This is their first night hike. Chil the hike master briefed the leaders first and briefed the whole pack. My six was led by the alumni, Nicholas and Bryan.

The bus came around 6pm and the first three six got into the first bus. The 3Ks (Kangaroo, Koala and Kookaburra) got into the next bus. Finally, the last four six got on the last bus.

We talked a lot on the bus and time flies. Before we realise, we were at Changi Terminal 2 already. We had a toilet break and we filled up our water bottles. After that, we started on the hike.

We walked all the way from T2 to T4, which is the newest terminal. Along the way, we saw signs about the Jurassic Mile and we thought that we were in Jurassic Mile already but it turns out that we were wrong. The Jurassic Mile only started after we passed T4 and a multi-storey carpark.

We later reached Jurassic Mile and just like its name, its length is a mile or 1.6 km. After that, we were told that after the Jurassic Mile, we still have 1.5 km left to reach the end of 5.4 km hike.

The journey through Jurassic mile was fun. Christian from my six likes and knows a lot about dinosaurs. So he had been telling us all about dinosaurs.

After going through Jurassic Mile, we had a water break and kept going.

Finally, we reached NSRCC Sea Sports Centre where we had our picnic. We were told to refill our water bottle and wash our hands. We laded out our ground sheet and ate.

After the picnic, the bus came and we went back to school.
