Care to join the Singapore Trekking community?
In effort to form up this community of trekkers in Singapore, I have recently subscribed to an email management service so that I don’t have to keep track of all your email addresses by copying them into my Excel file one by one!
Through this list, I hope that I can help to connect you with other people interested in trekking, so for example, if you are organising a trek and you hope to find some company, you can contact me and I can help you broadcast out. Do sign up for the community at the blog sidebar if you are interested to be part of the community! 
Actually, I would love to use a forum for this purpose instead, but from my own experience, forums need a lot of time and effort for moderation… and I doubt I will be able to spend that time doing that! 
So I guess email is the next best alternative yeah?

I was elated to stumble onto this as I thought my trekking and hiking days were over when I moved to Singapore in Sept 2005. I trekked regularly back home in Malaysia and was also a member of the Malaysian Nature Society.
I’ve since tried to generate my interest in water sports (which is more easily accesible here) but my heart is still with the jungles!
I know it’s the monsoon season but please let me know if you are hitting the hills soon!

Hi there,
I’m always interested in trekking and started off at bukit timah and mt ophir. But it had been a long time since my last trekking activity. Looking for tougher challenges to push myself forward. I hope I can rope in with you guys since you guys have the experience. Any upcoming events please contact me. Really appreciate it. Thanks.

Hello. I will be visiting Singapore in April and would enjoy getting out on some hikes. I may not have time for long treks since I’ll only be there a few days, but would definitely like to see Singapore from a different vantage point than the usual tourist gets. If you have any ideas on outdoors must-see sights, hikes, or other information, please let me know. Thanks!

Hey i just joined the community and is very interested in meeting up with people of similar trekking interest. I have done KK and Rinjani and planning to Everest Base via Nepal this year sometime Oct, 18D/14D on trek. It would be great to hear tips and even better if there is already people thinking of going and would like to form a group to go (hence meet up earlier to get to know each other). Looking forward to responses. Ps. I have set target for Kili in 2009.

Hi, I have just come to stay in Singapore and am glad to come upon people in love with nature. Is there someone out there who is interested in the Bukit Timah/Ophir trek, to begin with? It appears that a lot of you on the blog have graduated beyond this stretch. I have plenty of time in hand, weekdays included, and will be happy with anyone for company (and sure hope you will enjoy mine)! It would be good for a start if at least one in the group has been there before.Keenly awaiting response(s!).Thanks!

Hi Alex and Ida, that’s great! Alex, why don’t we both email Ida and maybe we can start a hiking group ourselves and start arranging walks/hikes etc.?
Yes Ida, hopefully the weather will be good for your climb up Mount KK but August should be ok. Are you starting from Mesilau or the base camp? Alrighty, I shall be emailing you shortly. Cheers

Hi all,
Jake here. Glad to hear some activity after my post. Good luck Ida for your KK. I was there last year April via the Mesilau route, which is more interesting, although bit tougher than via the gate. You should enjoy it as KK is a friendly and at the summit area, is a nice walk.
Alex, the shop xtrekkers are organising a get together at bukit timah 3 pm. This is for the Nepal trip to Everest base camp this Oct 16 and there are 3 of us. I have told CK (the orgainser) about you interest to join us, although he has not replied, but i don’t think he will mind. So let me know if you are interested.
my email is [email address taken out due to security reasons]
have fun.

Hi all,
Thanks to all the well wishers and words of encouragement. And Jake, thks for sharing. This would be my 1st trip to Sabah and I’m travelling alone! I will be starting the climb from Timpohon.
Alex, agreed with Julie, maybe we can start a hiking group ourselves and start arranging walks/hikes. I would be able to join you guys after my trip to Mt KK. Cheers!
