2915-02-13 Mount Parker, Mount Butler, Siu Ma Shan (Wilson Trail)

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.


February 2015 seems to be a month that we may be able to see some more Hanging Bells along Mount Parker Road on Hong Kong Island.  Louisa has spotted some Hanging Bells when she walked upwards from Quarrie Bay along Mount Parker Road.  We would walk further to Mount Butler, about 400 meters high. Then we follow the Wilson Trail covering Siu Ma Shan, to walk towards Konhill---- to take the MTR to HKU's new Centennial Campus where some of us (Grace, Ruth, Anson and I) will have lunch at 一念素食 with a table booked at 1:30pm. (hiking route about 10 km, hoping to finish within 3.5 hours) Other fridayhikers who would also like to have lunch at 一念素食 with a 10-course set lunch at $188 please let me know; deadline 1pm Thursday, 12 Feb 2015

Weather Forecast: Fine, apart from some haze, 15-20 degrees, humidity 70-90%
Hiking Date: 13 Feb 2015, Friday
Meeting Time: 9am
Meeting Place: either one of these TWO:
(1) Quarrie Bay MTR, Exit A, street level, King's Road----I do not want Fridayhikers living on Kowloon side or the New Territories to spend additional time to go to Braemar Hill to start the hike;
I will start from Quarrie Bay.
(2) Braemar Hill bus terminal.-- Leo knows this area very well. It might be time saving and more convenient for fridayhikers living around the Braemar Hill area to start from Braemar Hill.

Fridayhikers who join this Mount Parker hike please choose and indicate the location of your starting point. I will communicate with Leo by mobile phone if you start from Braemar Hill to walk towards Mount Parker Road. Hope that we will meet along Mount Parker Road. Those fridayhikers going to lunch at 一念素食 will get together and check our hiking time regularly hoping to reach Konhill around 12:30 to 12:40pm. Other fridayhikers may choose to have a more leisurely walk.

Please bring water, some snack, hat, umbrella, sunbloc and walking sticks.

Cheers,
SS
