Yishun Dam - Last Fishing Village - Punggol Walk


Details
Meet: Khatib MRT station (NS14)
When: Sunday 5th October, 4:30 pm**
**This is a Rain or Shine event. Please take a good lunch or bring along some snacks if you feel hungry along the way. Our walks are usually between 8 - 12 km long. Just so you know, the weather may be hot but as the sun sets, the weather should be cooler.
Please be punctual. You are encouraged to be slightly early to avoid disappointments. There will be 5 minutes grace for attendance taking. Please remember that we cannot wait because this would be unfair to those already present.
We shall start our journey at Yishum Dam. Yishun Dam – a.k.a. Seletar Dam – separates the freshwater of Lower Seletar Reservoir from the saltwater in the Johore Strait – you know, as dams do. But that doesn’t stop it from being a popular destination for romantic getaways, especially during sunset.
Next, we will explore the areas around the Jenal Jetty, the last fishing village in Singapore! Just so you know, Jenal Jetty is private property so we won't be going into the Jetty itself. But we shall explore the beach areas where we can catch a nice view of the Jetty from afar.
Finally, we continue our walk into two islands - Pulau Punggol Barat and Pulau Punggol Timor as we head onward towards Punggol.
We will end by having dinner together around the Punggol area.
