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.


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.
