Dear all,

Looks like we're going to have a rainy Friday.  For safety sake, a cemented hiking route is preferred.  The walk will take about 2.5 - 3.5 hours.

Meeting Time: 9:15 am
Meeting Place: Wanchai Gap Park, Stubbs Road

To get to Wanchai Gap Park, please take First Bus #15 at Admiralty (heading for the Peak) and get off at the Police Museum.  You may walk eastbound via Black's Link to Jardine's Lookout and then Braemar Hill.  You may then decide whether to walk further on to Quarry Bay depending on the weather.  Please bring rain gear, mosquito repellent and plenty of water.

As always, if the thunderstorm, amber, red or black rain signal is on at 7:30 am on Friday, or if there're less than 4 participants, this hike will automatically be cancelled.

I'm not joining the hike.  Please click into this blog to identify your companions nearer the time.  Thanks.

Louisa

Dear all,

This Friday is going to be cloudy with a few rain patches.   We'll walk from Shing Mun Reservoir to Chuen Lung.  It is a 8.5-km walk in about 3.5 hours.  Our hike in the first 45 minutes is a continuous uphill climb on stairs, and then the trail will go on almost level ground. 

Meeting Time: 8:55 am

Meeting Point: Exit B, Tsuen Wan MTR Station

We'll leave the MTR station at 9:00 am sharp to catch the minibus #82 at 兆和街 departing at 9:10 am. It runs every 15 min. In case you miss it, please take the next one or call a taxi to Pineapple Dam 菠蘿壩, the starting point of our hike. Toilet facilities are available there.

The quickest way to get to the starting point of Lung Mun Country Trail is to take the stairs by the side of the tourist centre at Pineapple Dam, and then pass through the butterfly garden.

Please bring plenty of water, mosquito repellent and sun/rain gear.

Regards,
Louisa

P. S.  Should it rain on Friday morning, we may walk round the reservoir instead.
