Howdy ODACians!
For the upcoming, stress-relief Abandoned Railway Hike, there are certain details and items-to-bring that we'd like everyone to take note of.
Date: 18th June, Friday
Reporting Time: 8:30 AM
Reporting Venue: Marymount MRT Station
EXPECTED ending time of hike: 5:30 PM
To bring list
-1.5 litre water bottle
-Slippers (for changing out of your muddy shoes/sandals)
-15 bucks (lunch, dinner and dessert)
-Plastic bag (to store muddy/dirty belongings)
-Poncho
Optional
-Face towel
-Snacks/Energy food (Note: don't eat in the presence of monkeys!)
-Insect repellant
-Extra shirt
Attire:
Footwear: Unwanted/dark-coloured shoes or sandals. Shoes offer better shielding against sharp grass or annoying ants, but sandals are easier to wash and an option if all your shoes are precious. Unwanted/dark-coloured socks if you choose to wear shoes.
Shirt: Long-sleeve/short-sleeve ODAC Tee. Long-sleeve may be uncomfortable under the hot weather, but it helps protect your arms at the later part of the hike against sharp grass.
Pants: Trackpants/PE shorts. Trackpants offer better shielding, but is stuffier AND may require more washing, as we will be stepping into MUD, ankle-deep at least.
And that should be it. Our warning to you is (as you probably realise by now): beware of MUD! *evil smirk*

History
NY ODAC was established in 1978 and was formerly known as OAC. The motto of OAC was
"The experience is YOURS".
During that time, OAC focused more on discipline and was more regimental as compared to the current ODAC. Mrs Koh was the teacher-in-charge then.
Furthermore, 4 marine groups, namely Blue Whale, Dolphin, Marlin and Stingray were initiated in the early years of OAC.
In 2003, Mr Thaddeus Lawrence took over the 1st ODAC. The 1st ODAC is also known as the 25th OAC and has a strength of about 20.
Mr Lawrence took part in the Sahara Desert Run in July 2009.
The motto of ODAC is
