Duration: 3 hours.<\/p>\n
Meeting Point: <\/strong><\/font> Getting There:<\/font><\/strong> Leaders for this walk: JeffreyLim & ChristinaCL Chan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We did the 1st ramble "PLR-I" in April 2008; the trial ended at Farrer Court. So, in continuation the ramble shall begin from where it ended………<\/p>\n The terrain is undulating. It is not the “usual walk in the park”. There are some rough sections. This 2nd segment provides some excitement as there are at least 2 obstacles to challenge perhaps, our spirit of boldness; a leap\/step of faith into the unknown! One challenge offers a short "slide" down the side of the huge pipe, then "lift" or "heave" oneself up 4-feet wall; your very own HAND POWER or strength is required together with a little aid from our macho guys! <\/p>\n Ladies "meinui" — dispense with the "genteel"; be ‘tom-boy’! It shall see you through! it sure did for me! <\/p>\n Guys "suike"– an extension of your hands or perhaps a lap-stool, surely comes ‘handy’ hehe I shall say no more… let the suspense hype up! <\/p>\n Let me assure you that the challenges are not as difficult as it seems; besides there are OPTIONS for you to take the easier route. <\/p>\n The walk shall end at Turf City where a variety food is available – Indonesian\/Japanese; seafood restaurants, Muslim\/Chinese eating houses; pizzas; cafes; etc. Register here. :D<\/p>\n *** Those who wish to have the fish head curry(4pax to share) please tell me as I will try to book in advance.<\/p>\n NOTE:<\/strong><\/font> 2) There are no ‘toilet’ facilities & no shelter from raindrops. <\/p>\n 3) Complimentary half-hourly free shuttle bus services is available from Turf City to Clementi & Toa Payoh Interchange. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stay cool!

We had intended to introduce this trail in 3 separate segments but after the 1st ramble; I think we will need more time not because of the "km" but to truly enjoy this exciting, challenging trail in 4 segments. Each part of the route has a different terrain and each opens up a part of Singapore seldom seen.The 1st segment was from Pearl’s Hill to Farrer Road, approx 7 km.<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to view photos.<\/font><\/p>\n <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Date: 02 August 2008 (Saturday) Start Time: we shall start the walk at 4.15pm sharp!

It is exploratory. It as a Mini Trek!<\/p>\n![\"emoticon\"](\"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/Wysi-Wordpress\/plugins\/emotions\/images\/rolleyes.gif\")

<\/p>\n
I recommend the famous Curry Garden. They serve chicken briyani, thosai, dum briyani, masala chicken…
& fish head curry($16) – one of their signature dishes, the half-hour wait was worth it, so SEDAP! <\/p>\n
1) If the mozzies always like you, do bring the insect sprays.<\/p>\n![\"emoticon\"](\"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/Wysi-Wordpress\/plugins\/emotions\/images\/cool.gif\")
