ReplyDeletewalked up 150meters but turned back as I was solo hiker... not sure if the trail to Chu Lin is still intact (march 2014) .. could some one whom has since hike provide some updates, thanks
ReplyDeleteThe old trail ending at Chu Lin Road, as far as I know, was cut off due to the landslides.
ReplyDeleteHowever, there is a track that was created towards Chua Chu Kang that was used during the grouting of the landslide area. You can access this new track via the slope at the back of the HDB blocks at BB West Ave 5. Use Google Earth for an aerial view and you can see the new zigzag road towards the old Chu Lin landslide area.
Here's an old write up on the trail.
