OBML

The activities for OBML are:

1) Kayaking
2) Sailing (Whaler)
3) Jungle Trekking
4) Rafting
5) Rappelling
6) Rock climbing
7) Running (Not a lot compared to Ubin)
8) Games etc

The activities might be similar to Ubin, but the terrain is totally different. Bring a pair of glove if you are prone to getting blisters. You'll be paddling or rowing alot if there is no wind during your whaler expedition. Also, bring vinegar, ointment or other stuff to fight leeches and mosquitoes. You'll be seeing alot of these bloodsuckers. The SAF insect repellent is very effective against leeches. Bring LOTS of re-hydration salts. Those that you can mix with water and drink. It helps alot during your final expedition. Lastly, bring a nice pair of shades to look good for the camera.

Don't overpack, as most of the equipment will be provided. All I can say is that OBML is fun, so go physically prepared with an open mind, and you'll enjoy the experience with your new buddies. Whatever it is, take care not to get injured. All the best, and have fun!
