August 21st: Shing Mun

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 late post !   The weather is so unpredictable !   I am inclined to just choose a very familiar place to go tomorrow.  This is in the city so you might not have to start out so early and can see what the weather is like.

You may decide to take the Shing Mun Valley route which is the walk around the reservoir.  You may decide on the Shing Mun East Country Trail.  The start and end of both routes is the same - Pineapple Dam.  The Shing Mun East Country Trail is supposed to be slightly shorter.


Meeting time:  9 am

Meeting place:  MTR Tsuen Wan Station Exit B


Please bring plenty of water, sun gear, rain gear.   Should the thunderstorm signal or any of the heavy rainstorm signals should be hoistered at 8 am, the Fridayhikers' hike will be automatically cancelled.



Enjoy your hike and fingers crossed for good weather.
