Dairy Farm on 20 Feb

Map at starting point

This is a long overdue blog. I have not been posting regularly mainly due to my busy work life. Whenever I have time, sleep is the first thing that comes to my mind. 

On 20 Feb, we went to Dairy Farm after breakfast, I was wearing my slippers. There is a path which links Dairy Farm to Bukit Timah , ZhengHua and other hiking trails. I had mentioned going on a hike via Dairy Farm on numerous occasions but this was the first time we set foot on Dairy Farm without planning. So with my slippers and a little pouch in  one hand, we started on a long journey. There are many different paths and ZH suggested we took the challenging one ( steep steps and muddy slopes ) to the top of Bukit Timah. Thanks to his suggestion,  we had a hard time. The steps are very steep and  due to the muddy grounds, many times my slippers nearly caused me to trip and fall.  Hikers of all ages bypassed us, they came well-prepared, in track shoes, proper attires, haversack and walking stick. I believe they were amazed and amused to see me dressed in market outfit ( pouch and slipper ) hiking. After 45 minutes, we finally gave up and returned to our starting point. We will be back ......

Huge and steep steps

We went up from this path.

Imagine coming here in the middle of the night.....
