2014-10-17 Tsak Yue Wu - Cheung Sheung - Hoi Ha Road (鲫魚湖 - 嶂上 - 海下路)

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 favourable for hiking, "24-28 deg. C.  Mainly fine with moderate to fresh east winds".  This route enables us to exercise our muscle.  There will be a gradual climb of about 300 m to Cheung Sheung before descending to Hoi Ha Road.  En-route we will pass through Lui Ta Shek 雷打石 and Wa Mei Shan 畫眉山, crossing part of the MacLehose Trail Section 3 (M55-M59) and Cheung Sheung Country Trail 嶂上郊遊徑 (C5201-C5205).  The whole trip covers a distance of about 8.5 km, and we should be able to complete it in 3 to 3.5 hours.
