Information Specially for all the new members:
Monthly walks are held every 2nd Saturday of the month, rain or shine we will be there! Thunder & lightning, we shall all be hiding!
Dear all SHCians,
This month, together, let us scale our country’s only Mount, which is also one of the oldest park, MT Faber.
Some asked "can climb meh?" Let me assure you, YOU CAN!
Come along and you shall be pleasantly surprised when soon you reached the top of the Mount !
There are a few trails. Marang Trail has been selected because of its location and that it has a combination — a route for an easier climb yet, the same route also provides a slightly different gradient for those who need a little more legwork. NO back breaking, leg hurting trail like the one I had trudged long ago.
Let’s Get Physical!!! for 10 to 15mins — a sky reach; an arch; a stretch perhaps, is what you need.
Then with nimble feet you shall rise up the Mount, to behold the panoramic view of the skyline,the southern part of Singapore and the southern islands.
This view shall take your breath away, not so much the climb!
A ship in calm waters, nostalgic trails, treasures of history and a Jewel you will find; a conquestto boast! 2 hours on a Mount, as you linger… as the wind whispers ….
