A Hike on the Southern Ridges

This morning, Daddy & Mummy brought Lleyton on a hike on the Southern Ridges. As always, Lleyton was extremely enthusiastic about having fun. He was happily smiling at the camera, when we were at the starting point (Seah Im Street Car Park).

The initial stage, Marang Trail, was torturous and physically demanding, for it involved a climb up a height of 70metres, approximately a 24-storey building. Its saving grace was that it brought us directly on to Mount Faber. We were co-height with the cable cars! Despite the on-going renovation works (in the backdrop of the photo below), the view from the top of Mount Faber is still quite a sight to behold.


After crossing the amazing Henderson Waves, Daddy & Mummy decided to stop for our picnic
. Of course, Lleyton was included, as he happily munched on his nestle biscuits. However, he didn't seem to have enough, and wanted to grab a bite of the delicious sandwiches that Mummy had prepared.



Naturally, he did not get any...



Before long, Daddy & Mummy hiked down the reciprocal route and returned to the car park. The entire journey took only about 1h 40mins, as the turn-around point was at the Henderson Waves. Daddy & Mummy will aim to take that further to reach the hill-top walk at their subsequent attempt. Lleyton was so exhausted by the walk that he had dozed off on the way down.
