ROUTE

The main point of this route was to visit Seletar Airport and its surrounding structures. I started at Pasir Ris, making my way to Punggol MRT on foot by myself. Then I met up with my friends at Punggol Waterway Park, and we walked to Seletar Airport. We also visited the Seletar Aerospace Park, and the Seletar Aerospace Walk. Then we went to Yishun Dam, Rowers' Bay and finally end up at Northpoint City.

REFRESHMENTS

We ate lunch at Northpoint City (Popeyes). We also bought drinks at Waterwaay Point, and that's pretty much it. Not really any place to eat at Seletar, so you might want to eat before or after going there.

EXPERIENCE

TBH didn't like it all that much. The Seletar Airport was underwhelming, watching the planes fly from up close was also not as interesting as initially thought. The park there was quite nice, though, and I'd say that would be the redeeming quality of the Seletar area. Besides that, Yishun Dam was... okay. The view was decent, but there's nothing much of interest. The dam itself was not fun to walk on as well, so visually unappealing.

TIPS

Perhaps a better route would've been to go from Fernvale to Seletar, then to Yishun Dam, and finally to Northpoint City. The walk from Punggol to Seletar was quite boring, after all.
