Dear Fridayhikers,

After the enjoyable hike to see the rocks last week, I hope the weather will cooperate again this week to give us dry and cool weather for another enjoyable hike.   I want to take one of my favourite routes before the weather gets too warm.

We will walk from Bride's Pool Road via a part of the Wu Gau Teng Country Trail, past the Hillfire Lookout to Fen Shui Au, then on to Kuk Po and Luk Keng.  This is a 6 km trail.  Because of some uphill and downhill sections, and stopping for the scenery, this will take about 3.5 hours.  There are two small restaurants at Luk Keng where we can have a simple lunch.  The minibus at Luk Keng (56K) runs every half an hour and will take us back to Fanling train station.

To go to the start of the trail, we will need to take a minibus 20R which goes to Wu Gau Teng and get off at the small roundabout before the minibus goes into Wu Gau Teng Road.   The only one suitable for us leaves Tai Po Train Station at 9:10 am.   If anyone misses this bus and still wants to join the hike, he/she will need to take 20C which goes to Tai Mei Tuk and catch a taxi to the starting point.


Meeting time:  9 am  (The earlier the better.  PLEASE QUEUE AT THE BUS STOP)

Meeting place:  20R minibus stop at Tai Po Train Station



available at Tai Po Train Station near the minibus stop.

also available near the start of the trail.





Please bring enough water, snacks, rain gear, sun gear, walking stick.
