Venue : Serendah Brick Factory (behind Serendah commuter station)
Hare : Juliana Tong Wei Mei
Co-Hare : Samantha Lee

Comic : Nan Kanagasabai
Directions
Travel whichever way to Rawang.
Go through Rawang and head up old Ipoh Road passing through Serendah.
2km
After Serendah Police station turn left at traffic lights to Serendah Commuter Station before "IPOH 169km" milestone and then right at T-Junction. Drive around the U-flyover over the railway track and slip left at factory and drive another 50 meters and park.
ON ON - Restoran 218. Serendah
Directions : Drive back to Serendah and exit. At traffic lights at BHP petrol station reset trip meter. At 300 meters turn right and drive for another 600
Meters. Rest is on RHS.
Note : If you reach the traffic light at Sg Choh you have gone too far.
Going green
If you want to go by train, look at ktmb.com.my, follow the 'Departures and Arrivals' link, and look at the commuter time-tables. You'd have to leave KL around 2.30 (e.g. Sentral at 2.35) and then change at Rawang to reach Serendah at 3.35pm, so it's quite quick/convenient if you don't mind arriving early... assuming the trains run on time! Fares are very cheap.

Take the old Ipoh road towards Rawang (that's Jln Kucing driving straight north).
After passing Templer Park, look out for Shell petrol station on RHS at entrance to Templer Park Resort.
Road narrows to single lane soon after this point so expect traffic jam.
About 2.2 km from Shell station at Ipoh 183 milestone, turn left into Commonwealth Park.
Watch out as turn is on a bend and descending and lots of motorcycles will be overtaking on the left.

To help our GM to save his speech before the run: we are running on white square paper as per DIN 89hh33 with a PHHH logo printed on. A check will be marked with a bunch of those papers. Once the new trail is found, please call OnOn. Who is running with the hash first time, just remember: there are times in life where you are responsible for yourself. This run is one of those times!
And Dan P., if you dont see any papers, you are lost. Go to the estate manager's house and expect rescue not before we finished our dinner - OK?
