August Monthly Walk – Bishan to Peirce Reservoir Boardwalk

Date: 1 August 2009 (Saturday)

Meeting Place: Bishan MRT nearby control station

Start Time: 4.30pm             
Duration:  about 1 1/2 hours  

EOs for this walk:  Jeffrey Lim and Charles Wee

Bishan to Peirce Reservoir Boardwalk

The walk will be in 2 parts. The first which many of you would be familiar with – Bishan Park, a very easy ‘civilised’ route on paved footpaths but nevertheless pleasant, amongst lots of greenery.

The second part will be across Thomson Road to Peirce Reservoir where we will walk along the water’s edge. The path though will be easy along the board walk with water on one side and forest on the other. The final stage will be through the forest but still along the board walk ending at Old Thomson Road.

Bring drinking water, an umbrella (for rain or sun), mosquito
repellent, camera, cap and wear comfortable walking shoes.  Note that
while mosquito repellent may be a good general precaution, liberal
doses may drive away insects that you wish to observe!

Walk ends at Old Thomson Road and for those who wish to, can adjourn for dinner at the Casuarina Road, the famous roti prata or the adjacent zhi char.

See you at the walk!

  2. Almost made it to the second on the list but it coincides with the Padang trip!

    This looks like a very interesting walk. Pity I shall have to miss it. Hope there’ll be a “rewalk” though.

    Happy walking!

  4. Hi Jeffrey,

    I think you have chosen a very good place for a walk this
    time. I used to cycle along this stretch of road pretty often. The reservoir can also be used as a halfway point
    to take a good break.

    Walkers be aware that there are many monkeys (literally)
    in the vicinity of the water reserve starting at the
    mouth of old Upper Thomson Rd and there are cameras
    installed to catch the ‘kind-hearted’ feeders.

    Sorry can’t join in this round as like Daisy, will be
    in Padang on the same day.

  6. Hi Jeff/Charles,

    I’m coming for the walk and will pamper myself with roti prata after that.

    Jeff – the trail will not be as challenging as the pipeline rambles, rite?

    Thks n c u there!

  10. #6 Veronique,

    The walk will be nothing like the Pipeline Ramble series. In fact it’ll be literally a ‘walk in the park’. For something more challenging, please be patient.

    AKAN DATANG : PIPE LINE RAMBLE X-TREME!!
