Human Naturally- A Stone's Throw Away 12 June 2016

Hi Guys!
I did a really cool event with Human Naturally Singapore, http://www.humannaturallysg.com/ , yesterday.
We met up at 07h00 at Venus Car Park on a deliciously cool morning, by Singapore standards that is. And then hiked 75 minutes into the jungle. Everyone was sporting Luna or Xero sandals. I wanted to go barefoot but had bought a new pair of Xero Trek's so had to see how they performed. (Very comfortable, I must say, and I did not notice them at all)
Justin was our very able coach/guide for the day and we were joined by Darra, Thomas and Su Yi.
I absolutely loved hiking along trails I have not yet done. We briefly walked along the McRitchie trail, https://www.thebarefootrunners.org/threads/mcritchie-run-singapore.19461/#post-181819 , where a standard marathon was taking place. 4 laps through the jungle is tough- my water consumption would have been 12.5L at least.
The walk did have its casualties with some slippery wet clay.
Once we came to a cascading waterfall, I knew where we were. Love this spot!
Tight walk along the waterfall, carefull not to slip.
And then to the secret training ground along Upper Pierce Reservoir.
