20121201, Taichung Outing, 大坑新社花海節

[Kevin01]

Dear Taichung Happiers,

How long haven’t you work out on the weekend? We going to hold our biannual outing activities in 大坑 and 新社花海節 on 12/01. Our Jeffrey would lead us hiking through the most scenic trails in大坑 mountain.

Anyone who wants to join our outing activities please mail me at saowyu@yahoo.com.tw. Or you also leave a simple message on our happy forum. We need one or two cars that will take our members to 東山路經補路停車場. If anyone is willing to be our driver for outing activities, please also leave a message on the forum. And each driver is reimbursed for 500NT for mileage expense.

At 7:30 AM on Saturday 12/01, we will gather at 台中市東山路經補庫停車場. And we will take 30 minutes bus to our starting point. So we need to take a few coins or easy card for bus fares.

We have two hiking routes one is challenging and the other one is easier. The route 1 is tough and time costing but you can see the most beautiful scenery along the log trail 4 and 5. It takes 6 hours to reach theme pavilion. So we don’t have too much time to enjoy the flower exhibition. The route 2 is easier but the view is plain. We will hit log trail #4 and all the way to 頭科山 which you will have the best view at 太平, 台中, 潭子, and 豐原. After the short stay we will hike the normal way to our destination. Then we will enjoy the flower festival. And 新社花海節 is open for public and without paying any charge.

It takes 4 ~ 6 hours to reach our destination. So you need to prepare your lunch and at least one liter of drinking water. Exhibition organizer provide commute shuttle to picks in theme pavilion and discharge passengers at台中市東山路經補庫停車場.

We will cancel the activities if the weather is rainy in the morning. If the probability of precipitation is high on the outing date we will also cancel the activities.

As usual, our regular gathering on December 1 would be cancel due to outing event.

Hello!

1. It's good to hear at least 7 persons will go (大坑/新社花海).
2. Besides, some Happiers ever asked me about 中橫健行 in winter time. FYI as below, it's an activity for 70Km in 6 days. For more detail, please check: http://skyhike.tw/?page_id=962

Rgds,
Jeffrey

本次活動共計二梯次，每梯次活動時間為六天五夜，各梯次均提供約20名公益名額。
◦中橫10梯：民國102年1月29日（二）至 2月3日（日）
本梯次活動除持續原有中橫健行隊之行程設定與各項活動安排外，本梯隊特別歡迎高中職、大專院校社團幹部參與。
◦中橫11梯：民國102年1月30日（三）至 2月4日（一）

Hello, Taichung Happiers

This is Kevin. Until to now, we have Bill, Harris and two or three of Harris's friends, Tzong and Tzong's girlfriend, Kevin, Joey, and Jeffrey. And Fiona will let me know her final decision by Thursday. So we have 9 to 11 people to join our workouts and flora festival on 12/1. We also provide carpooling service for those who want to on board near downtown Taichung city. Kevin will give each participant a call by Friday and arrange the way of transportation to our gathering point, 台中市東山路經補庫停車場 at 7:30 AM. Anyone who likes to join us can leave a message on the forum. Or you can send me an email via saowyu@yahoo.com.tw. And you would be served by the designated person, Kevin himself. ^^

Due to activities, our regular gathering on 12/1 would be cancelled for one time.

Have a nice weekend, Kevin ^^

Dear Taichung Happiers,

Weather forecast shows rainy day will continue all week long. For our members’ safety, I am so sorry to tell Taichung Happiers that we need to cancel the activities this saturday, 12/01.

There is also no regular gathering at MOS burger this weekend.

Have a nice week, Kevin
