Macritchie to Bukit Timah via Belukar Trail
-
Wonder if any of you have tried going to Belukar Trail via Rifle Range Road?
The route that I normally go by is Kampong Trail/Rifle Range Road then in from Senapang Road.. which doesn't lead to the visitor centre
I'm looking for another trail which leads to Belukar Trail -> Catchment Path but i simply can't find it when I went recently.
Wonder if someone can enlighten me?! from Rifle Range Road how do we get to Belukar Trail? -
sorry.. i'm lost here

this i don't know but i heard from my friend who live in bukit timah, it takes at least 2 hrs to walk from bukit timah to macritchie.

depends on ur pace. brisk walk about 3 hours.. relack relack one.. a bit more loh.Originally posted by Kenashi:this i don't know but i heard from my friend who live in bukit timah, it takes at least 2 hrs to walk from bukit timah to macritchie.
*whisper* and if u go at night, u get to see glow in the dark fungus.. which i love cos it makes me feel like fairyland.
I'm looking for a specific route - mountain bikers should know.. where Belukar Trail (mountain bike path) crosses Rifle Range Road? -
depending on which path u choose to do and where the start/end point. It is around 10km from MR Reservior - Ranger Station, rifle range Road to BK road.Originally posted by Kenashi:this i don't know but i heard from my friend who live in bukit timah, it takes at least 2 hrs to walk from bukit timah to macritchie. -

i thought the distance should be around 15 to 20km
walking for 3 hrs make me think of BMT pass out parade road march -

possibly birds. just went Bukit Timah this weekend and interesting sights I saw:
lots of breadfruit trees along rifle range road! But no fruits
lots of durian trees too, but not yet season
I also saw a .. bird. Since i no expert at birds can't tell u name but very cool. its black with two long extended tails hanging down. very pretty.
occasionally i can see bat lilies along the way as well.
Its a nice walk, perhaps you all free can go sometime

One of my favourites.. the network behind Jalan Kayu and seletar airbase is now under construction. Its sad but i really loved that area. Lots of fruit trees and other interesting plants.
Eh Hisoka...
Although the weather is hot and humid.. its the idea of GETTING there that makes me feel sian. But once you are there, and the walk started, you will find it enjoyable. -
well ... I used to haunt that place cos it's near my house ... but my brain is wired for directions, not names ... I can bring you there, but I can't tell you the trail .....Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:hee which ones are u talking about? A lot of them have disappeared or getting overgrown

some of the places are not on any marked trails ... if there were, they'd have been destroyed long ago .... -
hey me too! I lived at jalan kayu and when I was young, I used to cycle by myself with my doggy past seletar airbase and those old 'ghost town' kampongs to the yishun dam and just hang around there.Originally posted by Fatum:well ...

sounds good to me. I enjoy exploring all the new places. A few places I would want to explore but have not done so yet would be
punggol river and kampong area and the khatib bongsu area.... -
erm lets see.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:hee which ones are u talking about? A lot of them have disappeared or getting overgrown

5 hours of sweating like a pig and labouring across the wilderness with insects, spiders, lizards, snakes, wild animals, etc.
doesn't sound appealing + i thin i will be bored by the half hour mark -
go at night then when its cooler.. and u might get to see glow in the dark fungus..Originally posted by hisoka:erm lets see.

I think a good guide is important when u are 'introduced' to nature.. someone who likes it enough and has the knowledge and is able to share with you the things you see so it doesn't just become a mass of green stuff but has personality. -
oh i sweat alot at night too.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:go at night then when its cooler.. and u might get to see glow in the dark fungus..

doesn't look like it, their cameras are pointing downward, with a bunch of flashlight attached to it.Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:possibly birds. just went Bukit Timah this weekend and interesting sights I saw:
