Thanks to VitalAuto who organized this trail walk! Honestly, I didn't expect it to be this... erm, tiring. Well blame it on my physical condition! Anyways, it was quite fun exploring the nature parks with friends and very soon hopefully, we'll have the Pulau Ubin cycling trip sometime soon next year! - Asimov_22Note: Change in Venue to meet! We have decided to meet at VivoCity Interchange (opposite VivoCity, can have breakfast first at hawker centre). We'll be walking the other way around, starting from VivoCity. Sorry for the last minute change cos after discussing with Xiaoyao who has done the walk, it's easier to start at VivoCity and walk from there, he'll be our guide :) It's also an easier location to meet up. Please do help to inform your fellow friends who are joining us for the walk! Thanks!
It's been months since our last outdoor events (Paintball Warfare & Pulau Ubin)! I thought we should all checkout The Southern Ridges Trail Walk.
The 9km chain of green spaces spans across Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Kent Ridge Park and ends at West Coast Park, each seamlessly linked by foot trails and connection bridges.
For our trail walk, the journey starts at VivoCity where we will gather.
For this walk, we will cover:
Canopy Walk
HortPark
Telok Blangah Hill Park
Alexandra Arch
Henderson Waves
Mount Faber Park
and the trip will end in Kent Ridge Park where we will head to somewhere (suggestions?) for a nice lunch :)
Here's pictures from someone's flickr site to give you an idea what this trail walk covers.
Kent Ridge Park to HortPark
HortPark to Telok Blangah Hill Park via Alexandra Arch
Telok Blangah Hill Park to Mount Faber Park via Henderson Waves
Mount Faber Park to Harbourfront MRT
So hope to see many of you there at the trail walk :) I know it's early, but hey, it's just one sunday! :p It's fresh air, exercise and beautiful sites!
Date: 30 November, Sunday
Time: 8.30am
Venue to meet: Interchange opposite VivoCity
See you guys soon!
Vitalauto
note:
Don't be late! It gets really hot, really fast. So we should start early while it’s a little cooler. From different sites I've read, it takes about
Please bring: lots of water, snacks, sunblock, a cap. Wear good walking shoes and clothes you can perspire in.

Ah nice, count me in on the walk :)

I'm in. :) Take note hor. It's *very much* easier on the legs to start at the Vivo end and walk *downhill* to the Canopy Walk rather than the other way round. We can always take a bus to Vivo after we're done. It's just a couple of bus stops.
- xiaoyao
sounds cool, have always wanted to try out the walk, count me in!
~tvfan82~
Sound interesting. I will participate with a friend. DLCH here. :)
XiaoYao, you done it before ah? In that case I'll rather op for a downhill walk *hahaha*

Han & Otto and Mantou please, thanks
missing out so much thing when i'm not in sg >.<
im in ! i actually like walking. :)
Me BF also wants to go. Add him in, please. - xiaoyao
Yes, I have done the walk before. With Adlus during Indignation this year. And yes, I see the arrow coming, so I suppose I can lead the way (that is, if I can remember the route. Hehe.) We really should start at the Vivo end hor. - xiaoyao
Count me in tks.
I shall attend
Count me and odac pl. tks
stonedwin
so are we starting at the vivo end ? it'll be easier to meet too ! (pretty please ? haha... :D)
Actually thats a valid point. Maybe quite hard for ppl to gather at kent ridge park. Its quite a climb up too if i remember correctly. Only drove up there before. Most ppl would probably have to find their way there early in the morning.
ok since many of you have requested to start from VivoCity... i have changed the gathering point to interchange opposite VivoCity. Pls see the posting. dlch and koala_chan, can you contact me at 94595546, thanks! i need your numbers.
Starting from Vivocity? Cool. There are some places for lunch below Kent Ridge Park or at Pasir Panjang.
Yah its me beary-erm O_O""
Regretfully marcus got to work, so its just plain old me coming for the walk. ^^
I'll be bringing a can of pain-relief spray, some water bottles, some titbits, see wat i can get in the morning =D
Many thanks for the great hike this morning. It was damn bloody hot and humid, and my legs are still crying murder now as it is, but it was really great to see the bears out in force today. I haven't seen such an attendance for a very long time. Thanks for making the event a success, guys! :D
xiaoyao
Count me in!!!
