2014-7-11 Victoria Peak - High West - Pokfulam （太平山頂 - 西高山 - 薄扶林）

The Fridayhikers are a group of friends who go hiking for leisure. Depending on the weather and road conditions, the hiking route may be subject to change without prior notice. Participants joining the hikes do so at their own will and at their own risk. They may consider buying their own insurance for better protection. The hike leaders, the organizers and any other participants in the hikes are exonerated from any liabilities and claims as a result of any accidents or losses arising.



According to the weather forecast, there will be a few showers in the morning, though it would be mainly fine (28-32 deg.C) during the day.  In view of the hot weather and showers, I chose a short, shady and paved path.  The chosen trail is a light walk round half of the Victoria Peak loop, with slight ascend to High West (up 100 m), followed by Hong Kong Trail to Pokfulam Reservoir.  The total distance is less than 6 km, and it will take us around 2 to 2.5 hours.  The greater part of the route offers a good view of the Victoria Harbour.

Assembly Point:  In front of the Peak Galleria 山頂廣場

Time:  09:30 a.m.

Transport: Bus (No. 15 Central via Admiralty, Wanchai)
                Minibus (No. 1 MTR Hong Kong Station)

Please bring sun and rain gears and enough drinking water.  In case the thunderstorm signal, the amber/red/black rain signal remains hoisted at 07:30 a.m. on Friday, or less than 4 persons signed up to participate in the function, the hike will be automatically cancelled.
