2014-9-19 Kap Lung Forest Trail - Lui Kung Tin - Kap Lung Ancient Trail (甲龍林徑 - 雷公田 - 甲龍古道)

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.

With alternative easier route:  In case the weather is really too hot and we do not feel like going up the steep path back to 荃錦坳，we may simply proceed to Shek Kong 石崗 after the snack at Lui Kung Tin

Except for the great heat, the weather forecast for this Friday is promising "27-33 deg. C, mainly fine and very hot with light winds".  I have chosen a route which we have attempted more than two years ago.  The first part is a shady, relatively gentle downward path of about 4.5 km leading to Lui Kung Tin 雷公田, where we may have a taste of 薑汁撞奶 before the second part, which is a fairly steep path of about 2 km (a climb of elevation 400 m).  Including rest at Lui Kung Tin, we should be able to complete the journey in about 4 hours.
