Plan for tomorrow's trek

Quoting from V's mail describing the itinerary:

Hello Everyone,

Here is the plan for tomorrow.
We have booked a 32 seat bus for the excursion.
The bus will reach B at 5:45 AM. Everyone should gather at the B main gate by 6:00 AM. Please try to come on time, as it would make the further journey much more enjoyable.
Bus will start from P max by 6:15 AM and will aim to reach Vai by 8:30 AM. We will have a tea break at Vai. And will then head for the final destination i.e. Vasola, and are expected to reach there by 9:15 AM. We will start walking up immediately. It would be approximately an hour and half walk. Let's assume we reach atop by 11:30 AM. We will spend about 3 hours there, including lunch, sight seeing, and general TP etc. We should start descent by 3PM, reach to base by about 4:30 and back to P by 7:30PM.
Things to carry:
1) Enough water (About 2 liters each).
2) You are supposed to bring your own lunch. (We will arrange for morning breakfast in the bus and tea at Vai.)
3) A good condition haversack
4) Cap and winter clothing
5) Plastic carry bags (to collect your trash)
There are a few seats available in the bus, as we couldn't get the but less than 32 seats. So, feel free to bring your friends/family members if they are interested.
People who haven't depoisted the money, could you all please hand them over to me or K?
Also, everyone please send me your contact phone numbers? This is very IMPORTANT (Reply to this mail, don't reply all).
My contact number is :
K's contact number:
Regards,
V

The start time of 6 AM sounds a bit far-fetched considering the winter season.
