Dear Fridayhikers,

Sorry for the late posting.  Another hot Friday coming up.  I've chosen the Nam Chung Country Trail which is uphill for the first half and downhill for the second half.  This is 5.5 km and should take about 2.5 hour so hopefully the hike will finish before it gets unbearably hot.  Please bring sunshade as the book says it commands a good view, meaning that parts of the walk should be without shade.
I remember that there is a small brook alongside but you have to be extra careful if you should want to climb down to the brook.

The trail goes from 南涌羅屋 to 新屋仔.

Meeting time:  9 am

Meeting place:  Fanling Rail Station  (Please queue for  Minibus 56K going to Luk Keng )


Take 56K and get off at Nam Chung 路口, then walk towards 鄭屋 and 羅屋 until you come to the starting point of the trail.  At the end of the trail, walk to 新屋仔村路口 and take 56K back to Fanling Rail Station .


Please bring PLENTY of water, some snacks and bring sunshade, raingear for protection.


As the rainy season is here, please note that hikes are automatically cancelled if the heavy rain signal (amber, red or black) and thunderstorm warning should be up at 8 am.

Enjoy your hike !
