The Southern Ridges Walk

It was so difficult to wake up early on a Sunday morning... I thought I would be late but luckily I wasn't. Lan and I reached the Harbourfront mrt at 8.40am and I had ample time to finish my doughnut breakfast before the walk. There wasn't much people at the gathering point at 9am, so we waited for more people to come before taking group photos. The weather was a bit hot during the wait...


The Marang Trail was a bit hard to walk...there were many steps and I had not climbed so many steps since years. I was panting hard, but managed to get to the top with Lan's encouragement. It was drizzling when we reached the top, but the drizzle stopped as we walked towards the Henderson Waves. The breeze was so nice on the Henderson Waves (Lan and me had such messy hair in the above photo), but the breeze only lasted for a while.


See the PSA building? It was our ending point...The sky was so dark and Lan was worried that it may rain before we reach there. Thus, we hesitated on whether to proceed to the Forest Walk or U-turn back to the Marang Trail. At second thought, I encouraged Lan to continue the walk with me as I probably won't visit this place again. Luckily, the weather was good as we continued our walk.


Resting cum picture taking time...

The Henderson Waves have got nice curves right?


See the carvings? We are 74.14m above sea level at the Henderson Waves...

This is the end of the Henderson Waves and supposedly the start of the Hilltop/Forest Walk...though I didn't see any sign mentioning Hilltop Walk.

On the Forest Walk! The metal bridge is really sturdy and easy to walk, and it goes round and round. I only realized how high I was when Lan told me to look down. It was a bit scary to see through those holes of the metal as you could see the top of the trees and how far the ground is from the bridge.


We completed our walk at the Alexandra Arch, hooray! Lan and I visited the HortPark to freshen up before sharing cab with Dorothy to Jurong Point for lunch. Some of my colleagues were really enthusiastic walkers and continued their walk to the Kent Ridge Park via the HortPark. I strongly recommend this walk for those who like nature and exercise!
