PCN stands for Park Connector Network.
The route which you tried from East Coast to Changi Village is
known as the Coastal Park Connector. I have not yet cycled on this
route but I have walked the full 7.9km. Took bus service 35 to
Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal then walk there. Took me around 2
hours plus to complete.
I have also walked on the small path alongside the 2 big monsoon
drains which run paraell to the Coastal Park Connector. They are
known as Changi Collector Drain (North) and (South).
North drain is near Aviation Park, South drain is near
East Coast Park and Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. Not advisable to
cycle as the path is narrow and when come to the end of the drain,
has to walk through low grass area to get out to the main
road, and also some part of the path completely covered with
grass, the north drain there has fallen trees almost blocking the
path. However the scenary is nice, all around are trees and
vegetation. Very deserted except for one or two fishing there.
LOL
I thought I was the only mad bastard who tried biking along
the drain to see how far it would go.
I gave up 3/4 way because I was fed-up with bashing through
overgrown grass and fallen trees.
But....the scenery was indeed good. Despite the curses heaped
onto me by my friends...
The best scenery offered is at the mouth of the canal at Tanah
Merah Ferry Ter. Stray dogs inhabit that area although they are
generally ok with people. The breeze there, with the sea-gulls
around you is well-worth the distance extended into the sea.
