Dear Fridayhikers,
Many thanks to SS for standing in as post master for the past two Fridays.
This Friday, we will go to Dragon's Back and walk from from To Dei Wan to Siu Sai Wan. Despite autumn being here, the forecast for Friday is for the temperature to go up to 29 degrees ! So prepare for strong winds on the ridge, and prepare for strong sun towards midday.
Bring plenty of water, sunshade, raingear and a wind jacket and a walking stick.
Meeting place: Bus stop No. 9 at Shaukeiwan bus terminal. Please queue up if you want a seat on the bus as there can be plenty of people. (MTR Shaukeiwan Station Exit A3)
Meeting time: 9 am. Buses run every 15 - 18 minutes.
There is a public toilet at the Shaukeiwan bus terminal, and a more primitive one at the starting point at To Dei Wan.

Sorry for the late issue of this Hiking Notice; now I am home at the computer.
Belinda is not in Hong Kong. I wrote our Hiking Notice to go to the Wetland Park tomorrow 9 Oct 2015 on "Fridayhikers" Group, Mobile phone, around 11:33am this morning. Since the use of the mobile phone is comparatively more readily at hand, as compared with the desktop computer, such a means of communication has been chosen by me this morning while my Taiji and Qi-gong friends were chatting. I am happy to discuss further with Adrian.
My apologies to those Fridayhikers who prefer to use the blog.
Hiking Date: 9 Oct 2015, Friday
Hiking Route: Wetland Park, to explore wildlife No.1 to 16, about 3 hours' walk.
Meeting Time: 9am
Meeting Place: Tin Shui Wai, West Rail, Exit E1.
Weather forecast: Sunny intervals, a few rain patches later.
Cheers,

Dear Fridayhikers,
We will take a route in Sai Kung suggested by SS this Friday. I checked the previous blogs and it seems that you took this route in May last year. The route goes like this : 黃石碼頭 -- 土瓜坪 -- 北潭坳 -- 北潭郊遊徑 -- 鰂魚湖. This is said to be a leisurely walk on shady paths with a gentle gradient. I hope some of you who took this route last year will be coming this Friday as I do not know the route.
Meeting Time: 8:50 am (Bus departs at 9:00 am)
Meeting Place: Sai Kung KMB #94 Bus Terminal (destination Wong Shek Pier)
As the weather is not stable, please check the weather before you venture out tomorrow. If the thunderstorm signal or any of the heavy rainstorm signal is hoistered at 7:30 am, the hike will be automatically cancelled.
