2014-8-8 Hong Kong Park - Bowen Road - Black's Link - Wong Nai Chung Gap

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 weather forecast for this Friday is not so promising, "27-31 degrees C, mainly cloudy with showers, a few thunderstorms and moderate southwest wind of Force 4".  Irrespective of the frequency of the showers, the ground would be probably wet.  So, we need to abandon the country trails and choose a concrete path.

The chosen hiking trail is relatively short and level (except for a small section of Wanchai Gap Road 灣仔峽道 linking  Bowen Road to Stubbs Road/Black's Link 司徒拔道/布力徑).   We would easily cover the route within two and a half hours including stops for rests and shots.  Along Black's Link we may have a fair view of Victoria Harbour on the north side and Ocean Park in the south.
