My last long morning walk was few years back with my ex colleagues heading to the HSBC Treetop Walk. Yesterday, my s-i-l suggested that we check-it-out at the southern ridges.. cheap & good exercise cos we only spent on the bus fair.. good for budget time like this.. nowhere to go ? don't go shopping, go exercising as its better for yr health too !!
Spent time on a check at the web :
The Southern Ridges comprise a 9-kilometre chain of green, open spaces spanning the rolling hills of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park & Ken Ridge Park before ending at West Coast Park. Its a two prominent connections from Henderson Waves which is said to be Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge - spans Henderson Road to connect Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park. The other link, Alexandra Arch, looks like open leaf across Alexandra Road continues to Forest Walk, which is made up of an elevated walkway for pedestrians & earth trail for cyclists through the secondary forest of Telok Blangah Hill Park.
We wake up at 6.50am & set off at 7am for light breakfast. Taken a bus down to alexandra & started off for the walk.. the forest walk is what i most enjoy, cos it's not just a straight route.. you will feel like climbing, hiking + walking haha..
Which areas we've conquer ?
Ans : We started from Alexandra Arch - Forest Walk - Faber Walk - Henderson Waves - Hilltop Walk & ended at Marang Trail ... :)
Which areas we've yet to go ?
Ans : Floral Walk & Hortpark + Canopy Walk ... :(
