Going up to the Bukit Timah Hill summit from the visitor center is such a regular short climb and so I wonder how long it would take to start from the coast instead. To get this done as quick as I could, I chose my start point near, if not the nearest, to the summit. From West Coast Park, I started my run (and watch) on a hot sunny day slightly past 3pm just as the wave brushed against my shoes. I ran in a north-easterly direction towards the overhead bridges to get across the AYE and onto Clementi Road. It was then Clementi Road all the way until I connected to the Rail Corridor and onto the main road and summit stairs of Bukit Timah Hill. When I touched the summit rock, I stopped the watch. Less than an hour in 43:41 to be exact.
