Dear Fridayhikers,
Let's try Dragon's Back again tomorrow. I think most parts of this route should be dry. The hike will be about 3.5 hours.
Please bring enough water with you, and sun shade and rain gear to cope with the unstable weather.
Meeting time: 9:05 am (Bus No. 9 for Shek O departs at about 9:15 am)
Meeting place: Bus Stop No. 9 at Shaukeiwan Bus Terminal
Please queue at the bus stop when you arrive. There are washrooms at the bus terminal and at the starting point. We will probably start our hike at about 9.30 from To Dei Wan.
Please check the weather (TV or Radio) before you leave home. If the thunderstorm signal or any of the heavy rainstorm signal is up by 8 am, the hike is automatically cancelled.

If there are showers and they become heavy or frequent, we can turn back and take the lower road back to To Dei Wan, or exit at Collinson Cape.
Dear Fridayhikers,
I have chosen Dragon's Back for tomorrow's hike as it is exposed so the path should be dry. But if it is foggy, we will not be able to appreciate the good view. Let's hope the showers stay away and there will be a breeze to keep us cool. The hike will be about 3.5 hours.
Please bring enough water with you, and sun shade and rain gear to cope with the unstable weather.

April 15th : Chek Keng

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,
I've chosen Chek Keng for tomorrow as it has rained so heavily the past two days and it has been so humid all week that it should be safer to go to Chek Keng as it is more exposed and the path is concrete most of the way.
The weather observatory said today would have some sun but as it is, it is still as humid and foggy as ever. I hope it dries up in the afternoon. Anyway, please look at the forecast tonight and tomorrow and if the thunderstorm signal or any of the heavy rainstorm signal be hoistered at 7 am tomorrow morning, the hike is cancelled. If less than three register for tomorrow's hike, the hike is also automatically cancelled.
Meeting time: 9 am
Meeting place: Outside MacDonald's at Sai Kung
Please queue for the village bus to Sai Wan Ting when you arrive. You may try to be there early and use the toilets near the Sai Kung bus terminal. There are just two primitive toilets at Sai Wan.
Halfway on the hike, we will lunch as usual at the little eatery on the beach. The hike is estimated to take about 3.5 hours. We can choose to walk up to Pak Tam Au for the bus or we can call a boat to take us to Wong Shek Pier when we reach the foot of the slope up to Pak Tam Au.
Please bring enough water and snacks, and bring rain gear and sun gear.
Please note that the village bus leaves promptly at 9:15 and the next bus is 11:30. So you have to be on time for the 9:15 bus.

Dear Fridayhikers,
It will be a warm and humid Friday with the possibility of a shower. I want to try this route which is supposed to be leisurely and shady (about 3 hours) with a gentle gradient.
Wong Shek Pier - 土瓜坪 - 北潭坳 - 北潭郊遊徑 - 鰂魚湖
Meeting Place: Sai Kung Bus Terminal #94
Meeting Time: 9:20 (Bus leaves at 9:30)
Toilets are available at Sai Kung and at Wong Shek Pier.
I'm not sure I've taken this route before so I hope some of you can lead the way.
As always, should the thunderstorm signal or any of the heavy rainstorm signal be hoistered at 8 am, count the hike cancelled. If less than 3 people register for the hike, the hike is also automatically cancelled.
Please bring sufficient water and snacks to sustain you until a late lunch at about 2 pm. Also bring sun protection and rain gear.
The hot weather is coming. Come and join the hike now that the extreme heat is not yet upon us !
