About us
Welcome fellow walker :-)
Join us on a walking journey to all parts of Singapore.
We have regular walks every Thursday and alternate Sunday afternoons.
Each week we venture to a different part of the island. We cover all parts of Singapore in our walks - there is never a dull moment!
We have also been featured in the Straits Times: (https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/steps-and-the-city-how-the-walking-trend-is-making-strides-in-singapore)
I invite you to come for the adventure and stay for the company.

Let's follow the Singapore River to its source and along the Alexandra Canal. Finally, we end in Dawson with a panoramic view of the surrounding area - just in time for sunset!
The Singapore River is approximately 3.2 kilometers long[3] from its source at Kim Seng Bridge to where it empties into Marina Bay; the river extends more than two kilometers beyond its original source at Kim Seng Bridge as Alexandra Canal, as far as the junction of Commonwealth Avenue.[4]
Dinner will be around the Dawson area.
See you there! :-)Sources:

Upper Seletar Reservoir was formerly known as the Seletar Reservoir, before the completion of the Lower Seletar Reservoir near Nee Soon, formed by the damming up of the mouth of Seletar River, in 1986. The Seletar Reservoir was built to meet the surge in water demand after World War I. Built while D. J. Murnane was Municipal Water Engineer, a contemporary description of the project scope and construction in 1939 is included in the footnote.[1] The construction work was overseen by Murnane's deputy F. G. Hill. It was completed in 1940 and officially opened on 10 August 1969 by Princess Alexandra.
Lower Seletar Reservoir was constructed under the Sungei Seletar/Bedok Water Scheme, completed in 1986. The scheme involved the damming of Sungei Seletar to form Lower Seletar Reservoir, the creation of Bedok Reservoir from a former sand quarry and the construction of Bedok Waterworks. Its unique feature was the construction of nine stormwater collection stations to tap the storm runoffs of the surrounding urbanised catchments. Eight of these collection stations are ponds at Yishun, Tampines, Bedok and Yan Kit.
Join us as we explore the Seletar Reservoirs! There's captivating greenery, Instagram-worthy pictures, and a "Rocket Tower" to be explored!
The most eye-catching feature at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park is its futuristic lookout tower. This was built in 1969, the same year that astronauts from the NASA’s Apollo 11 space mission landed on the moon’s lunar surface. It was the age of exploration and space fever was gripping the world.

Let's walk the Raffles Marina Lighthouse :-) We will have early dinner at Joo Koon followed by a walk to the Raffles Marina Lighthouse for sunset views!
Built in 1994 and overlooking the Tuas Second Link – Singapore's second causeway to Malaysia, this 12 metres high icon flashes every 10 seconds with a beam that reaches 15 metres. The lighthouse is maintained by the Club and is the only lighthouse not owned and operated by the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore.
The beacon is a popular spot for photography groups. The lighthouse, together with the marina, has been featured on wedding and lifestyle websites and blogs. It has been described as one of the most ideal and unique venues among couples for wedding photography and nautical themed weddings. Some of these photographs have been featured on sites such as Pinterest, Flickr and on Instagram via this hashtag, #rafflesmarinalighthouse. View more beautiful shots of the lighthouse here.
See you there :-))
