Organiser: "It has been a very long time since we hiked this before COVID times. Pipeline sections are now all fenced up, and we are no longer able to walk on them physically. Let's go check them out".

We don't know how much the trails have changed, any new obstacles or challenges, any section blocked, etc.
Do be prepared for some exhilarating scrambling, wrong way, U-turn or change of route. Almost the whole section you will be under the sun. But don't expect to hold an umbrella and walk. The pipeline trail is not a walk. If you're not sure you're up for such uncertain challenges, don't RSVP.

What's the plan?
The "Marsiling Pipeline Trek" is a hiking trail that follows the route of a buried water pipeline from Marsiling to the Bukit Panjang area, offering moderate difficulty with steep grassy slopes and varied landscapes, including open grasslands and forested patches.

We will cover at least 10-13 km of different trails of varied terrains. Some difficult sections where hands are needed besides your legs.

Part 1: is the pipeline trail, a 10 KM trail full of unpaved paths, mini hills, and of course, the titular pipes themselves. Gloves will be needed.
Part 2: Recovery walk through Chestnut park.

Who is Suitable?
NOT for beginners. For regular walkers/hikers who are not afraid of the sun/rain. Pipeline trek is not a walk; it involves some difficult sections as it's not a straightforward trail.
Be prepared for the long distance of walking. There will not be any sweepers, so you are to keep pace with the group or find your way out.

𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀!
Hiking attire & Gloves. At least 1.5 litres of water, sunblock, rain gear, sun protection accessories, snack/energy bars - lunch may be late.
Shoe: Wear comfortable hiking shoes [a few sections of pipeline].
Basic first-aid for cuts.
