August 14th: The Peak

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,

Instead of going all the way to Sai Kung, it may be more prudent to walk on the island in view of the weather.  The forecast for tomorrow is still cloudy with showers and thunderstorms.  

Fridayhikers seem to prefer a walk on the Peak.  DK suggested walking from the Peak to Pokfulam and Anson suggested walking up the Victoria Peak from the Peak ? (a route that I don't know about).  

So I shall leave it to the group going hiking tomorrow to decide on where you want to walk.  


Meeting time:  9:15 am   

Meeting place:  The Bus Terminal on the Peak  

You can take Bus #15 from Central or Admiralty, or minibus #1 (from IFC) to the Peak.  The minibus may be crowded as many construction workers or labourers take the minibus at this hour and often there is a long long queue.  Alternatively, you may take the Peak Tram which should not be too crowded at this hour.  


Please bring plenty of water, rain gear, sun gear with you.


Please check the weather before you leave home.  Should the thunderstorm warning or any of the heavy rainstorm warnings be hoistered at 8 am. in the morning, the hike is automatically cancelled.  Safety comes first.
