Fat Matt Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Labrador Park. Changi. East Coast Park. Kranji. Kent Ridge Park. Bukit Timah. Mandai. The Zoo. Fort Canning. Pearl's Hill Park. Sungei Buloh Park. MacRitchie. West Coast Park. Sentosa. Ubin. Telok Blangah. Bukit Batok. Mount Sophia. Pasir Ris Park. And on and on and on. Lots of places for caches. Let's show a little effort. It's not like we're living in a complete concrete jungle. First Fat Matt cache is scheduled to be placed this weekend. By the way, how many people have been to someplace in Singapore for the first time ON A HUNT? Quote Link to comment
+The Wombles Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 We came caching in October 2001 but unfortunately got there before eveyone else! We left this cache Singapore Botanic which we think was the first. Enjoyed our visit, looking forward to returning now you guys have placed some more! Dave Quote Link to comment
Team Dragon Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I visited a few areas I doubt I would have gone to otherwise because a cache was there. When you place a cache outside the central parts of the city, the only thing I ask is that you also provide some transit information for tourists who otherwise may not have a clue how to get there. For instance, a nearby bus route. Quote Link to comment
Fat Matt Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 Fair enough. Although a map and a Singapore Bus Guide will do the trick for those that have them. I wrote out a list of places for caches last night and came up with 18 potential spots- all of which are far enough away from existing caches to prevent a cachejam. Over the next month or so I'd like to get 5-8 hidden and get people out exploring places other than just the usual spots. We'll see.... Quote Link to comment

Except the first time I came to Singapore I didn't have the guide until after I landed. I'll be in better shape to pre-plan before my next visit. Although, I did get 2 on Orchard Rd. during my last visit. Now where did I park my car??????? Quote Link to comment
Fat Matt Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 By the end of this weekend (June 28-29), there will be three (possibly four) new caches in different parts of Singapore. They aren't the easiest to find, though, so look carefully and enjoy the hunt! Thanks and good luck. Fat Matt Quote Link to comment
Menie Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 I find that Singapore is a very good place for geocaching, because your transportation system is very efficient and well-documented, and the peace and order situation is good. The next time I'm there again I will go after some of your caches. I've found eight in Singapore so far, but have not been there in quite a few months. Quote Link to comment
nigiriz Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I had in mind to plant a cache in the central catchment area few months back, but it didn't materialize yet. It's a multi-cache that will allow the cache seeker to take a small hike "thru the woods". This is for all nature lovers, and it will be physically more strenuous compared to the other caches here as you have to walk up to 3 hours, depending on your walking speed. (Having a set of wheels will not help you!) I wonder what the response will be? Maguro Sushi! Quote Link to comment
Fat Matt Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 Well, it's funny you should mention that because my associate and I took a walk up from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to the zoo 2 weekends ago. The problem is that you may need to rely less on GPS co-ordinates and more on logistical/ geographic clues because of the GPS signal blockage under the trees. (Although there is one great location for getting a reading just before you head onto the Gangsa Trail). I guess if you made the caches leading to something pretty nice, you might get a few people out there. But remember, 3 hours with a moaning, complaining bald white guy was bad enough- imagine it with a bunch of moaning, complaining kids! Quote Link to comment
nigiriz Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Whoa... From Bt Timah to Mandai Zoo. Sounds interesting. Can you sort of describe the path that you took and maybe send me your tracklog. I would like to try that out myself someday! Maguro Sushi! Quote Link to comment
fletcherng Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Which GPSRs do you guys use in Singapore? I've got a Sportrak Colour but I bought it in US. Does the mapping GPSRs bought in s'pore have e Singapore basemap? Quote Link to comment
