2014-12-19 Tsuen Kam Au to Tai Tong
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.
Dear Fridayhikers,
After consultation with Leo, it has been decided that this Friday, we will take the route of Tsuen Kam Au to Tai Tong. The leaves have turned red and if they have not been blown away by strong winds and rain, we should be able to see them. The weather forecast is for cloudy cold weather with possible showers.
Most of us have been here before. The route (12km) is relatively flat and paved most of the way. Except for an initial short walk up, it is downhill most of the way until Kat Hing Bridge where there will be a 100m climb. It will take us about 4 hours from the starting point to where we will be able to take a bus/minibus/taxi to Yuen Long.
Meeting time: 9:10 am (Bus 51 arrives a little after 9:20 am)
Meeting place: Exit A Tsuen Wan MTR Station
Please bring enough water, snacks, rain gear, sun gear, etc. It is estimated that we won't have lunch until after 2 pm.

Dear Fridayhikers,
This will be a cool Friday with some scattered showers early in the morning. It should be suitable weather for a good hike. As DK will not be joining us this week, you may want to take advantage of the cool weather and take a longer hike to Long Ke from Sai Wan Ting. I would suggest that if it is too wet, you can opt for Chek Keng instead.
Meeting time: 9 am (the bus to Sai Wan Ting should depart at around 9:15)
Meeting place: outside McDonalds in Sai Kung
Please bring with you rain gear, sun gear, plenty of water and snacks or a light lunch. The distance should be about 9 km and usually take 4 to 4.5 hours. On reaching the dam, you will need to call a taxi to take you back to Sai Kung.
Needless to say, the hike will be cancelled in case of heavy rain, thunderstorm and if the number of hikers is less than 3. I cannot join you this week. See you next week and enjoy your hike.
Please check the post Thursday night to see who will be coming.

2014-12-05 Tsuen Kam Au - Kap Lung - Ho Pui

Hi there ! The weather forecast is for a cold Friday with a chance of a bit of rain in the early morning. Because the morning will be cold, I've picked somewhere close to town so we don't have to start out so early The route is about 9 km and we will need 3.5 to 4 hours depending on how fast we go. At Ho Pui Village, we can take minibus 71 to Yuen Long. This minibus runs every quarter of an hour and passes through Kam Sheung Road West Rail Line for anyone in a hurry to get back to town.
You may go to the following website to have a look at the route: http://www.oasistrek.com/ho_pui.phpwww.oasistrek.com/ho_pui
Meeting time: 9.10 am
Meeting place: Tsuen Wan MTR Station Exit B
We will take bus 51 to the starting point at Tsuen Kam Au. The bus departs from Tsuen Wan West Rail Station at 9:20 am. Tsuen Wan MTR station is the 2nd stop. You can take the bus from the terminal if it suits you better (and it will be appreciated if you indicate in your reply). As the bus runs every hour only, please make sure you catch this bus or you will need to take a taxi.
Bring water, snacks, sunshade, raingear and dress in warm layers. Do bring some food as it will be past 2 o'clock by the time we have lunch.
Please note that if it remains wet, we may take the paved walk instead of walking down to Kap Lung as although this section is not steep, it is a hill path and may be muddy.
