Anyway, I make my way to the one way loop through the jungle. I couldn't smell anything too offensive around the Durian Loop but I did come across a few large smashed durian husks around.
Entrance to MacRitchie Rifle Range Link. I said a quick hello (he was one of the few people I had seen on this walk) and continued to the entrance.
Think I will go with the TreeTop Walk.Access to the TreeTop Walk is gained from the Sime Track and then the Peirce Track. Oh why, Oh why did I not go to the Jelutong Tower instead (on second thought that would probably be just as bad). Why would the path be only one way? on hindsight I could have got out easier taking the Venus Loop to the north-eastern exit) but it is kind of boring, so I am tempted by the Petai-Prunus Trail (two trails off the MacRitchie Nature Trail), which gets out of the deep jungle and snakes its way around the water's edge. Kampong Trail. At the end of the Nangka Trail there is a fork in the road, both paths of which are part of the Durian Loop. Ever since setting eyes on the Kampong Trail map standing so alluringly at the foot of Bukit Timah Hill, we have been itching to get our hoofs and paws on this trail that promises an epic cross-country adventure that will bring us from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to MacRitchie in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.

Guess what ... more jungle!However, MacRitchie Reservoir Nature Reserve is a bit more than just paths through the jungle, there are also some interesting sights as shown on the map box below.The main sights on the northern side of the reserve are the Jelutong Tower and the TreeTop Walk, while along the actual reservoir there are a number of boardwalks along the banks. Once you enter the TreeTop Walk there is no going back, you have to finish it, or I guess beg the guard to let you out (i.e. No muddy tracks here, but still plenty of jungle.I am really starting to get sick of walking now and my stomach is starting to grumble. Exploring the green spaces of Singapore
Despite the lack of other walkers I never felt desolate as a lot of the time you could still hear traffic and the rumbling of Singapore city in the distance. Thatâs enough jungle for this trip.Be it seeing the city sights, exploring parklands and gardens, urban walks or day-hikes in the city outskirts, the metrotrekker website details walking routes and hiking trails accessible by foot and public transport in metropolitan areas.The metrotrekker website provides you with all the details required for metropolitan exploration:So let's get outside and explore our great metropolitan areas by foot. This section is aptly named the Rifle Range Trail and is not as quiet as the Pandan Trail due to the proximity to the road, but nonetheless it was an enjoyable walk, if not a little muddy.The Kampong Trail then deviates away from Rifle Range Road onto the Nangka Trail, which once again is full of lush vegetation. Kampong Trail. So unfortunately I didn't get any pictures along this section, but to put it simply ... more jungle.After the Durian Loop the Kampong Trail meets Jalan Kampong Chanteck road and follows it north along a reservoir up to Rifle Range Road.

I guess I shouldn't be so harsh, I don't like having my picture taken either.So the last section of the Kampong Trail was not the best, but the majority of it was rather good. There are many trails you can try out in terms of difficulty and distance. Doesn't sound right does it, but it was just what the doctor ordered after the long walk I just took.

The 16.5km walk I was about to undertake was the longest single walk I had taken in Singapore and was going to be the longest of the whole trip. My God I can't stand monkeys. I am seriously considering begging the guard to let me out and once and for all destroying my manhood. After some failed attempts to distract him by throwing sticks and stones into the bushes near him, we decided to just proceed anyway – with caution, no eye contact, and absolutely no smiling (lest he misinterprets it as snarling).Well, that’s our excuse to end the walk there and treat ourselves to a well-earned lunch. The MacRitchie Nature Trail is the quickest way back to civilisation (N.B. There was a lot of shade though, which is a plus, and the road was quiet, so I didn't have to jump out the way of cars too many times.
