Southern Ridges is crowded!

Posted by otterman on 19 May 2008

Some of the Pasir Panjang Heritage Guides have been visiting the Southern Ridges trail. Kenneth took it on a quieter day and blogged about it.

It was inevitable after the recent announcement about the trail that the public holiday would draw in the crowds. Still the others who walked this morning were quite startled by the crowds there – enough to be comparable with ECP! The guides just weren’t used to such large numbers of people on the trail. The guides met several colleagues, friends and relatives and in their words, it “was packed, packed, packed all the way through!”

The nice thing is that lots of people appear to be game for a walk! Happily there will be more in a few years time.

Delifrance, Holland Village no more

Posted by otterman on 19 May 2008

Delifrance, Holland Village used to be a nice place to meet, partly because it was relatively empty. Well, that might now have been so good after all. When I turned up for my cycling meetup, I could not find it until I realised it was no longer there! Renovation or new tenant?
