Outdoor Adventures

Kindly understand that This is Not an online event. We created this for the people to communicate with each other (in the comment section) to find their travel mates. However, since the Meetup site requires a date and time. We constantly have to update the date and time to keep the event alive. **Dear friends,** If you have plans to travel somewhere in the world, and you are looking for a travel mate/roommate, you can post it here to let others know, and maybe you can arrange to travel together. It would probably be a good idea to meet up before deciding to travel together but at least this will give you a chance to find a like-minded travel mate. **How to Choose the Right Travel-mate** 1. Have some common interests. 2. Avoid people who tend to extremes. 3. Agree on expenditures before you leave. 4. Make sure your personalities 5. Friends aren’t always good travel companions 6. Don’t go backpacking with a luxury-seeker 7. Make sure you’re able to communicate 8. Agree on a similar budget 9. Avoid picky, crazy and whiny individuals 10. Test each other on a short trip 11. You don’t have to be like a couple of inseparable lovebirds Good Luck and Cheers, Team alpine Trekkers

**TRIP CONFIRMED!** **12D ENCHANTING BALKANS & EASTERN EUROPE IN SPRING!** *(An Epic Journey Through 6 Captivating Countries & 14 Charming Cities!)* Yes ... Step into a world where East meets West, where dramatic **landscapes, ancient towns,** and vibrant cultures come alive. Our **Balkans + Eastern Europe Adventure** takes you on a breathtaking journey through six captivating countries — **BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA, CROATIA, MONTENEGRO, KOSOVO, ALBANIA, NORTH MACEDONIA** — each offering its own unique blend of **history, charm**, and **natural beauty.** Wander through the cobbled streets of **Sarajevo**, where minarets and church towers rise in harmony. Marvel at the **Adriatic’s sparkling coastline** in **Croatia**, from **medieval Dubrovnik** to the sun-kissed islands. In **Montenegro**, be swept away by **fjord-like bays, stone fortresses**, and charming seaside towns. Discover **Kosovo**’s resilient spirit and hidden gems — vibrant cafes, **Ottoman architecture,** and striking landscapes. **Albania** surprises at every turn: from turquoise beaches to towering mountain passes, and a rich tapestry of cultures shaped by centuries of influence. Finally, **North Macedonia** welcomes you with a deep sense of history, warm hospitality, and the serene beauty of **Lake Ohrid** — one of Europe’s oldest lakes. This is more than a scenic tour — it’s a deep dive into the **Heart of the Balkans,** a region still blissfully untouched by mass tourism, yet overflowing with soul, scenery, and stories. To add to the splendour, we'll be doing 2 - 3 scenic hikes (optional) as we immerse & enjoy the beauty of these lands! Join us and be part of this unforgettable adventure. **\*\* 12D THE ULTIMATE BALKANS & EASTERN EUROPE! \*\*** *(Only 6 Days Leave needed with Labour Day Holiday + 2 Weekends)* **Be mesmerized as you explore 14 Charming Cities/ Medieval Old Towns:** * **Sarajevo** * **Mostar** * **Stolac** * **Trebinje** * **Dubrovnik** * **Perast** * **Kotor** * **Budva** * **Podgorica** * **Peje** * **Prizren** * **Tirana** * **Biloku** * **Skopje** \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **ATTRACTIONS/ PLACES OF INTERESTS INCLUDE:** 1. *The Breathtaking Adriatic Coastline* 2. *Mesmerizing Mostar Old Bridge* 3. *Bazaar Kujundziluk* 4. *Picturesque Neretva River* 5. *Samuil's Fortress* 6. *Mount Lukomir* 7. *Rakitnica Canyon* 8. *Surreal Lake Ohrid* 9. *Trebinje* 10. *Dubrovnik* 11. *Matka Canyon* 12. *Francescan Monastery* 13. *Accyrsed Mountains* 14. *Bay of Kotor* 15. *Independence Square* 16. *Old Ribnica River Bridge* 17. *Rugova Mountains* 18. *Tranquil Leqinat Lake* 19. *Sinan Pasha Mosque & more!* \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **WHY SO CHEAP? - \*EUR 1895** **ONLY!** (\**This **Special Early Bird Price** is only* *applicable* *for those who've transferred the **Refundable $495 Sincerity Deposit by 12 Mar and not on your RSVP!** Thereafter price will be **EUR 2095** once Hotel/ Tour Guide Prices increased or at the discretion of the Organizer.

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/harbourfront-centre-to-close-in-second-half-of-2026-for-makeover-into-33-storey-mixed-use-building The beloved HarbourFront Center (HFC) will be closed for at least a 5-year period for a drastic makeover. Before that happens, let's walk past this place again, enroute to the luxurious Sentosa CoVe Marina 🌈🌊🌳🌸🍃. Here, marvel at the elegance of waterfront living, with views of anchored yachts ⛵️🚤 and vibrant Quayside Isle—a perfect spot to unwind as the sun dips below the horizon 💛. This Meetup group is a community-led group by volunteers, who enjoy the Great Outdoors (GO) and would like to share the GO with u too! 🤎✌️😃 **This is a free community walk, created simply for the joy of exploring together.

***Guests are not allowed; only members are permitted***. All must register on this page. **Only members on the RSVP list are permitted**. **Why is no guest allowed?** **ALL MUST READ & AGREE TO OUR DISCLAIMERS BELOW.** **Reason: Bad experience from past events: Guests often don't read our disclaimer & follow our rules, as they are not required to RSVP,** which is typically done by friends who are members of our group. => **Guest**, *please sign up as our member - it is free anyway.* 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. In a few sections, 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. Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ● **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: Scenic walk through Chestnut Park.** **Part 2: is the pipeline trail, a 7 KM trail** full of unpaved paths, mini hills, and of course, the titular pipes themselves. Gloves will be needed. There will be muddy trails, some bashing, U-turns, or going the wrong way etc. This is not a walk in the park. Don't join if you are not in for these. 𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 & 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗺. 𝗔 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 hiking 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹. Meet point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4ejp9jJ2ZjVUf4he9 End Point: Marsiling **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. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀?

Perhaps less explored than Singapore's more tourist-worn trails, the corridor stretching from Queenstown to the **Singapore River** holds a quiet richness that rewards those who slow down and look closely. Starting at **Queenstown** , we cross over the bridge and into the greenery of the **Park Connector**, tracing a path that weaves between the old and the new. Along the way, we pass the serene **Church of the Good Shepherd** and stroll through the tranquil **Alexandra Canal Linear Park** — a pocket of calm in the heart of the city. From there, we ascend to the iconic **Sky Terrace at Dawson HDB** — one of Singapore's most celebrated public housing developments, soaring **47 storeys high** with sweeping views that reframe the city entirely. A true testament to how Singapore has reimagined everyday living. Rejoining the **Park Connector**, we continue past the historic **Masjid Jamek** before arriving at the beloved **Zion Food Court** famous for its Char-Kway-Teow — a perfect pitstop for a taste of local Singapore hawker delicacies. Then, the walk takes on a new character as we enjoy our evening stroll along the **Singapore River**, one of the nation's most storied waterways. We follow the river's gentle bends, crossing the elegant **Jiak Kim Bridge**, pass the **Rainbow Bridge** before our walk concludes at the vibrant **Clarke Quay** — where history, food, and the city's pulse all come together at the water's edge. This is a walk of contrasts: lush park connectors and towering HDB sky gardens, quiet places of worship and buzzing riverside promenades, heritage and modernity side by side. Come discover a side of Singapore many pass through but few truly see. **Event Details:** Limited to 24 members. (No guests — please ask your friends to RSVP individually.) *(**Note:** Priority will be given to members joining upcoming overseas trips and those who have never joined any of our free walks or hikes before.)* 📱 **Please include your mobile number when you RSVP** — this is needed for safety grouping and communication during the walk. *Full details will be sent to all confirmed participants once RSVP closes.* **EVENT HOST: MJ 87511073**

**\*If interested, please whatsapp** [wa.me/+6588842635](wa.me/+6588842635) **or contact +65 8884 2635! Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group!\**** Gunung Tapis (1,512m)+ Tiga Beradik (3 Beradik) is a beautiful hike, famous for the mystical views and amazing flora and fauna, which I can say is not necessarily associated with many other hikes in West-Malaysia. With its misty forest vibes, bonsai trees, expansive open views, tranquil summits, one gets to experience a journey that hopefully allows one to experience different amazing views and hopefully other perspectives of nature. You'll get to go through 'Bonsai Camp', 'Lost Valley', what enticing names! Of course, this doesn't come with its challenges, but the challenge will make the views even more satisfying. Do note that while the total distance is \~17km with \~1,700m elevation gain which can sound quite tough, you can do a shorter version of it will allow one to enjoy the view without reaching Puncak 3 Beradik. In addition, we intend to pair it with Panorama Hill at Sungei Lembing, famous for the sea of clouds the next morning. This trip centers around being in Sungai Lembing, where most locals head there to escape the city due to the beautiful nature with peaceful and laidback vibes, while being around an hour from the city of Kuantan. So enjoy being away from the rush of the city (and convenience), and just being out and about in Nature in a more relaxing and tranquil environment. This is a hike that isn't that well-known or run as a regular trip, and will need advanced planning so do sign up early!

**History** The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville. Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people. As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support. The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts. In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area. **Map of the Park** Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks. The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.

We will meet next to the restrooms at the [Big Meadows Picnic Area](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/HBK_Web_1980.png). They're all the way at the back of the park, and they can be found at coordinates [40°09'06.6"N 83°02'30.2"W](https://www.google.com/maps/place/40%C2%B009'06.6%22N+83%C2%B002'30.2%22W/@40.151828,-83.0423587,214m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m10!1m5!3m4!2zNDDCsDA5JzA4LjAiTiA4M8KwMDEnNDUuMSJX!8m2!3d40.1522222!4d-83.0291944!3m3!8m2!3d40.151827!4d-83.041715?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) (near the playground and the zip line). We'll hike about 5 miles at [Highbanks Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/highbanks/) on the Dripping Rock and Overlook Trails. Afterward, we'll head over to [Olentangy River Brewing](https://www.olentangybrew.com/) for drinks, coffee, or food (their Sunday [food truck](https://www.olentangybrew.com/eventsandfood) is Venezuelan and always gets good reviews). The actual address of the brewery is [303 Green Meadows Dr S, 43035](https://www.google.com/maps/place/303+Green+Meadows+Dr+S,+Lewis+Center,+OH+43035/@40.1551938,-83.0144045,17.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x8838f395cef06c97:0xe407de61b3e30069!8m2!3d40.1551765!4d-83.0124352!16s%2Fg%2F11c26jc7j9?entry=ttu). If you can't make the hike, we should be there by noon. **How to find our starting point in Big Meadows:** If you are new to Highbanks, the Big Meadows picnic area is 1.5 miles into the park just after you turn into the park off of U.S. Route 23. That is, after you enter the park, drive a mile and a half into the park. You will come to a crosswalk with a yield sign in the middle of it (this is not to be confused with the first such crosswalk you come to just in front of the Nature Center, which you arrive at maybe a quarter of a mile into the park). Just after this second crosswalk, make a left. Then make another almost immediate left into the parking lot on your left. There you will see the jungle gym and the kiddie zip line to your left. I will be just in front of the restrooms just a bit further down from the jungle gym and picnic shelter; the restroom building will also be on your left.

Hike approx 4.0 miles at approx. 17 minute mile pace. Meet in front of the Nature Center.

Hike approx 4.0 miles at approx. 18 minute mile pace. Meet in front of the Nature Center.

We will hike the Ridge Trail and Meadows Trail twice, for a total of 3.8 miles. There are some pretty good inclines so plan on getting a cardio workout :). This is a loop which is pretty easy to follow; thus faster walkers can take the lead and the rest (like me) will bring up the rear at a slightly slower pace. You could also just do the loop once for 1.9 miles. No one left behind. Optional lunch to follow in Canal Winchester. I'm working through the metro parks - this is the third one!

Hi ladies. Let's hike the edward thomas trail, lake trail , spring creek and a short walk on the multi purpose trail. This is one large loop . Wear your shoe of choice. Meet in the Maple Grove Picnic area. 4.2 miles in length .
