Dear Fridayhikers,

As mentioned in our previous post, we shall be going to 三椏村 where we can lunch at 福利茶室.  We will walk 2.5 hours into 三椏村 from 烏蛟騰 taking the lower trail.  After lunch, we will walk back to 烏蛟騰 taking the upper trail (1 hour 45 mins).  As the minibus to and from 烏蛟騰 is not frequent, we'll bring our cars as far as possible to ferry our hiking friends between 大美督 and 烏蛟騰.  So, please note the following assembly arrangements:

 

 A) 沒有坐順風車的：

Meeting Time: 9:00 am

Meeting Place:大埔墟港鐵站20C專線小巴站  (總站大美督下車)

Journey Time: app 30 min.

(I'll be driving.  I'll see if I can find a leader for this group, but there's no guarantee.)

 

B) 駕駛者連乘客：

Meeting Time: 9:30 am

Meeting Place: 大美督私家車停車場

 

Present Situation:

Driver 1: Carrie -- may take 4 passengers at 大學站

Driver 2: Michael Yik -- may take 4 passengers at 大美督

Driver 3: KM -- will be taking Amy and Harry

Driver 4: Louisa -- may take 4 passengers at 太古站 at 8:40 am

 

We'd welcome one or two more drivers.  Would the drivers please indicate a time for pick-up.  And if you'd like a lift, please contact the drivers direct.  DO NOT leave any phone numbers or car plate numbers in your replies.  Our blog is public.

The meal at 福利茶室 will include (pending availability) the standard but delicious 芋頭扣肉/梅菜扣肉, 白切雞, 時令海鮮,  泥鯭粥, 灼鮮菜, etc. For desserts, 羌汁豆腐花 and 蕃薯芋頭糖水 are good. 

As said in my previous post, the number of participants is limited to 24 on a first-come-first-serve basis in view of the difficulty in arranging transportation.  At present, 18 persons have already signed up (in the previous post or via email).  They include: Leo, Adrian, Carrie, Jenny Hung, Michael Tang, Joseph, SS, Anson, Peter, KM, Amy, Harry, Hannah, Belinda, Rita, John, Michael Yik & Louisa.  They NEED NOT sign up again.

I'll order our lunch on Wednesday.  Once the meal is ordered, you will need to pay your share even if you do not turn up.   Expected cost: around HK$150 per head.

Please bring suffficient water and sun gear, and preferably your hiking stick.

Regards,
Louisa
