a walk on the upper Kent Ridges of Kent Ridge, get it?

and lizard crossings

the canopy walk is not as popular due to it being quite out of place in the connector route

sad to see Clementi woods, a shadow of it's former self

the hort in "hortpark" stands for horticulture, which derives from the Latin hortus meaning a 'garden' space... ok....

offering not only large picnic areas, but...

facing the sea, the place is very airy and windy

hurray for our west coastline being turned into a container port!

yup it kinda have characters arranged in a way, that reading it out spells the place we intend to go as well!

alot of the road are banked really nicely, far more than those in Mt Faber

the park restaurant is still there and is a Japanese restaurant now

the place is a packed family outing area

it's own macdonalds as well! whoa so thats where everyone's gone to!

and this big open field

Most people will just park their car at the free carparks here and head off the other direction towards Hortpark itself

our next destination lies beyond this path

after a short walk and we are out of that urban jungle

so as confirmed by the signboard

yup our intel and spies confirms that the right place alrite!

wonder where that leads to?

the forest walk ends at the interlinking Alexandra arch bridge

clementi woods was once a mangrove area, so there are quite alot of such varieties of swamp plants here

across the west coast highway

as with every downfall comes with something else... this one across west coast crescent

argh! walking through civilization (Science park I)

Here we are at the Heritage trail part of Kent Ridge trail (get it? neither do I!)

clementi woods is not exactly bike friendly given the large number of steps in the park, but too small to be considered a proper

with the exception of people...

ok thats all folks on the journey! glad you like the photos!

we will leave Clementi woods for now...

is that a lone signboard I spy?

we exited Kent Ridge park through this pond route, before

some more stainless steel structure porn

the whole structure floor is mainly made from triangular gratings with holes large enough to allow leaves/water to fall through,

some of the trekkers on a mission...

a view you never thought you can get in central Singapore... (now is that a starbucks joint behind that tree?)

a quick escape route in case any nature calls

don't ask me, I like how this picture was framed

lined along the forest walk are details and elaborations of vegetation which survived the construction process...

here are some of the inter-twining areas part of the route
