June 5th: Twisk Nature Trail + Kap Lung Forest 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.


Dear Fridayhikers,

Another hot Friday coming up.  Please bring plenty of water, sunshade, rain gear, sunblock if you are joining the hiking.

The Kap Lung Forest Trail is 4.5 km and is a hill path with a gentle slope downward.  It should take about two hours with a short walk (turn right as you come down) out to the main road.  If you should think it too short, add in the Twisk Nature Trail at the beginning which is a circular path opposite the toilets
near the Country Park Mgt. Centre.  This will give you an extra hour of walk.


Meeting Time:  9 am  (Bus  51  arrives a minute or so after 9:20 am)

Meeting Point:  Exit B  Tsuen Wan MTR Station


Enjoy your walk.  

When you come out to the main road, you can take Bus 51 back to Tsuen Wan, or to Kam Tin.  There may be also minibuses to Fanling direction but I am not sure.


Again, should the thunderstorm warning, or any of the heavy rain signals be up at 8 am, hiking will be automatically cancelled.  The same if less than three hikers have signed up.  This is for safety reasons.

  1. Thanks, Belinda. I will join the hike tomorrow. According to the KMB web information, it seems that the service frequency on weekdays has been reduced to only ONE per hour, departing the Tsuen Wan terminus at 9:20, 10:20, etc.

    1. Rita, since you know where the bus stop is, just go directly to the bus stop before 9:20 am.
