    Bukit Timah Hill 172m 13.2.2019.

    A fantastic buzzing place even if the beer worked out at £10 a pint! Scorching hot too at 30-32c with high humidity. Bukit Timah Hill; well it is not so high but it is an interesting place. First of all it is a lovely park (Bukit Timah Park/Nature Reserve) and it is set nearly smack bang centre of the island. It is famous for being the location of a critical battle between the British and the Japanese during WW2. The British obviously lost!

    Anyway your not going to get altitude sickness on this one but you will get a bit sweaty. I started at the main road but you might as well start at the visitor centre and simply follow the relatively steep but wide footpath that goes past it uphill (NE). It should be busy for you as this is a popular running and walking venue. For some reason the locals tend to walk uphill and walk down backwards. After about a km you can either turn right and go up some very steep steps to the summit section or follow the wide path/road round to the left.

    You will come to a veranda of sorts and a big stone with the summit details on. The summit stone will say 166m on it. This is the altitude above the land not sea level which adds another 6m to the height. That’s me next to the stone…and yes you can take the piss out of my shorts as everybody else has!

    All in all it was a 3k round trip with an oedema inducing 152m of ascent done in 41 minutes flat. It was great though. I enjoyed it and that was the Singapore HP done. For route details click here: komoot.com/tour/276525591

      The climb is strenuous in the heat and should not be underestimated, because it is just a "park" in the city. Take plenty of water with you!
