2014-8-1 Route Twisk (荃錦坳) - Kap Lung Ancient Trail (甲龍古道) - Ho Pui Reservoir (河背水塘) - Yuen Long

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.


The forecast weather for this Friday is "Mainly fine and very hot with some haze.  Chance of thunderstorms.  There will be west to SW moderate wind of force 3 to 4".  The chosen route is a relatively short, mainly downward and tree-lined path of about 7.5 km, and we would probably spend only two and a half hours to reach Ho Pui Reservoir and the adjacent village 河背村 where we can catch a village bus back to Yuen Long town.    Nearby the 河背水塘 there is an organic farm where we may buy some fresh organic vegetables.
