May 20th Tai Po Kau Nature Trail

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,

It will be Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve for this week's hike.   There are four trails there ranging from 1 hr to 4 hrs.  As the hiking trails are of different lengths, there can be a choice should the weather be unpleasant.

The weather forecast says the weather will become unstable towards the latter part of the week and I'm not sure if that means Friday.  The forecast as at today is still part sun part cloud on Friday with thunderstorms developing later in the day.  So please check the weather before you venture out in the morning.


Meeting time:  9:15 am

Meeting place:  Tai Po Rail Station taxi stand

Those who wish to group and take a taxi to 松仔園, please wait at the taxi stand.  Those who wish to go by themselves please wait at the starting point of Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve.


Should the thunderstorm signal or any of the rainstorm signal be up by 8 am that morning, the hike is automatically cancelled.   Should less than three enrol, the hike is also automatically cancelled.

Please be well prepared for mosquitoes and wear long sleeves and long pants and use mosquito repellent.  You are also reminded to bring plenty of water, sun gear, rain gear with you.

I have a touch of flu so I may not be joining you this week.  Have fun and enjoy the tree filled reserve.
