June 24th : HK Island

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,

This Friday will be very hot and sunny.  As many Fridayhikers are away from HK and many also not hiking in the heat, I anticipate that only a handful will be joining the hike on Friday.  Should less than three Fridayhikers register, the hiking is considered cancelled for safety reason.

Meeting Point:  Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park

Meeting Time:  9:15 am

Those joining can decide on the route they wish to take.  Some options are as follows:

1)  From the Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park to Tai Tam taking the Violet Hill Trail.  This is shady in parts and bare in parts.

2)  Wong Nai Chung Gap Road to Jardine's Lookout

3)  Tai Tam Country Trail from Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park up Voilet Hill back to Parkview, then via Sir Cecil's Ride back to Wong Nai Chung Gap Road

To go to the meeting point, please take buses 6, 61, 76, 41A and get off at the gas station after the tennis courts on Wong Nai Chung Gap Road.


Please do not underestimate the heat and take all precaution.  Bring plenty of water, sun protection, and rain gear.

Should the thunderstorm signal or any of the heavy rainstorm signal be up by 8 am, please consider the hike cancelled and go back to bed.




Have a safe and enjoyable hike !
