April 24: Hok Tau Reservoir to Lau Shui Heung Reservoir

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,

This route is a combination of the Hok Tau Reservoir Family Walk and the Lau Shui Heung Country Trail.  Skip the Hok Tau Country Trail ( this is an extra loop )  but start at the end of Hok Tau Road, walk up the road (washroom on the way), and take the Hok Tau Reservoir Family Walk , go around  Hok Tau Reservoir, take a clockwise direction around Hok Tau Reservoir, then go towards Shek Au Shan 石坳山, (this is part of Wilson Trail). This Wilson Trail overlaps with the Lau Shui Heung Coutry Trail.   At C2204, they  go separate ways.  Stay on Lau Shui Heung Country Trail (turning right) then go towards Kat Tsai Shan Au 桔仔山坳, and this trail will bring you to Lau Shui Heung Reservoir.  At the reservoir, walk down to the intersection of lau Shui Heung road and Hok Tau Road to take the minibus out to Fanling Station.  The walk is about 3 hours.


Meeting time:  9 am  Please queue early.  


Meeting place:  Minibus 52B to Hok Tau Reservoir at Fanling Rail Station  (Please take the minibus all the way to the Hok Tau Village, as far as it will go.  Do not get off at the BBQ area or the start of the Country Trail ).  

Please note the telephone number for Fanling minibus 2673 3626 if needed.



Please take enough water, sun gear, rain gear and snacks.


I shall not be joining this week's hike.  Enjoy !
