February 26th: 大刀屻 / 嘉道理農場

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,

Tomorrow's weather should be good for hiking, cool and cloudy.  Louisa had suggested going to Kadoorie Farm earlier in the week as the weather seemed to be humid and wet, but it had cleared up these few days.

So, a dual route planned for Friday and the choice is yours.  Kadoorie Farm or 大刀屻.   Both will start from Kadoorie Farm.  Those who want to hike the 大刀屻 route ( approx. 4 hour ) can follow these instructions from Oasistrek web page:

沿小路見路牌左上，便是一段連綿石級登往大刀屻。於山脊上走，可遙望八鄉錦田及大帽山一帶山勢景色。而刀刃險處建有欄杆，走來亦不覺凶險。自此輕微上上落落往北大刀屻。離北大刀屻不久即見左首路牌往枌嶺火車站，但可先行直行不遠處涼亭稍作休息。然後再循剛才路牌所示行走。下山後沿石屎路到箕勒仔，經不少晨運人士所建的休憩處後順著蝴蝶山方向到蓬瀛仙館，而對面就是枌嶺鐵路站。

Meeting time:  9:00  am

Meeting place:  West Rail 錦上路 Station / Tai Po Station
                         (Take 64K and get off at Kadoorie Farm) 

Please note that the 大刀屻 route will be cancelled if less than three hikers opt for it.  Kadoorie Farm, however, is okay even if just one wants to go.


Bring water and snacks, rain gear, sun gear and clothing to keep warm (early morning may still be cool).


Have fun !


By the way, Kadoorie Farm asks for donation of second hand digital cameras and binoculars for use in their South China farms.
