Canopy Walk, Singapore

3. Follow the signs to the TTW up Bukit Kalang. Go past the Ranger Station and all that stuff (about 20 min). As you walk up the road leading to the TTW (30m past the Ranger Station on the final ascent up a shady newly resurfaced road, contrast against the broken surfaces of the WW2 Japanese reservoir road), just before an old rusty gantry, look across to the left and note a grassy trail. Spot two large water pipes in a green fenced up area about 50m away. Remember it.

4. Cross the TTW. About halfway across look down and notice a grassy trail about 5m wide. Remember it. Once across to the other side of the TTW, take the stairs to the forest floor (it is cordoned off by a rope). If blocked by a security guard, then just continue until the bridge becomes a a boardwalk and jump over the railings and reverse direction.

5. Walk on the forest floor (for those with a compass it is 090° heading). Keep the bridge in sight overhead. If not you'll be hopelessly lost.

6. Walk about 3 minutes (about 80m, no risk of entanglement - there is not much growth on the forest floor) you'll emerge onto the old grassy trail about 5m wide. Look up and you'll see the bridge. It should still be directly overhead. TURN RIGHT.

7. Walk about 2 minutes on a 220°heading (about 100m) until you come to two 1m water pipes emerging from the ground and then going back into the ground (remember?). They are inside a green fence. TURN LEFT.

8. Walk about 1 minute on a 10°hdg (about 50m) back to the bottom of the slope that brought you to the TTW. You have now looped back to the bottom of Bukit Kalang.

9. Retrace your steps back to Island Club Road. You should see the fence and gate of Bukit Kalang Service Reservoir, the access road, Island Club buildings, and finally Island Club Road. Total time, less than 60 minutes.
