Sun 4th & 18th June 2006 – MacRitchie to Bukit Timah briskwalks
The Raffles Museum Toddycats lead an energetic briskwalk for the public from
MacRitchie (MR) to Bukit Timah (BT) annually in June. All are welcome and
you can register now for the walks on 4th and 18th June 2006 at the MR-BT
Briskwalk webpage: http://briskwalkers.rafflesmuseum.net/
The 2-hour walk is a chance to experience the ambience of the morning's
sounds and fresh smells and a beautiful sunrise. Led by a group of regular
walkers on these trails, this walk is unusual for us as it is not a nature
observation walk (which is a much longer walk), but rather, a chance to
exercise amidst a pleasant, natural setting that we treasure in Singapore.
Everyone is welcome, but you should be used to taking short walks at least
and wear a proper pair of walking shoes. And, critically, be able to wake up
early enough to reach MacRitchie carpark at 6.45am, since we leave on time!
We hope to reach the foot of Bukit Timah hill by 9.30am, leaving you
rejuvenated with your whole Sunday still ahead of you.
Visit the webpage for details about the route, preparation, trail etiquette
and photos from previous walks.
