What is he up to?
Some members dont give up. Over 60 already and trying to show that he is young again. Here is a member showing off his paddling skill at the MacRitchie Reservoir. Apparently canoeing is quite simple and good for the body - tuning up for a good swing at the golf course.
If you are interested you can rent a kayak for $15 per hour and $7.50 if you use a two seater with a friend. The place is at the Paddler Lodge located at the far right from the entrance of the reservoir. It is run by the Canoe Federation and open from 9 - 5 pm except Mondays and Public Holidays. I tried it the other day and found it to be cool ....a good morning exercise amidst the serenity of the beautiful lush greenery of the MacRitchie Reservoir.....
more information
MacRitchie Reservoir, located off Lornie Road and completed in the late 1860s, was the first water supply system implemented in Singapore. The Impounding Reservoir, as it was then called, came about through the donation of S$13,000 by philanthropist Tan Kim Seng in 1857. The reservoir was renamed Thomson Road Reservoir in 1907 and its name was changed again to MacRitchie Reservoir in 1922 after James MacRitchie, who was the Municipal Engineer of Singapore from 1883 to 1895.
