[EVENT] Raptor Watch: Coasteering Tanjung Tuan

 

 OPEN EVENT CODE PF32U

Cliff above waters (oh, if high tide, you can't reach here!)


It is the time of the year again for migrating raptors to see us walking along the shores of Tanjung Tuan or Cape Rachado attempting to complete the circumnavigation in the soaring heat.

MNS Pathfinders group is proud to be the outdoor group conducting the most rounding trips - we do this usually on an annual basis to coincide with the famous Raptor Watch (RW) event, a signature event with MNS. This year, we are able to coincide with the main RW event and the tide on 12th is lowest at 0.3 metres around 4 pm. By the time we complete our mission at Ilham, it will be late evening expected with scores of people far out at the beach.

The registration form has details of the hike - MNS members RM20 and non-members RM35. This round, the walk starts 1-ish pm. Be prepared to embrace the 'solar power' and radiated heat from ground - your sunblock lotion will be your best friend to accompany you.

The last day of registration is on 26th Feb (Sun) - to secure your spot (subject to fitness assessment), head over to https://bit.ly/PF32u_CoasteeringTT
