Dear Fridayhikers,

I apologize for this late posting due to a very busy week for me.  It is too late for me to research on a change of route for tomorrow so I hope Anson will bear with going to Shing Mun Reservoir yet another time.  Just treat it as a regular 3 hour walk for exercise tomorrow.

Meeting time:  9:15 am

Meeting place:  MTR Tsuen Wan Station Exit B


For those who want to go directly to Pineapple Dam or to the minibus stop, please liaise with the rest of the Fridayhikers via whatsapps.

The walk will be around three hours.  If it is cool and dry tomorrow, you may finish the walk earlier.

Please bring plenty of water, sunshade, rain gear.


If the thunderstorm warning and any of the rainstorm warning is in place by 8 am, the hike will be cancelled.


I have too much to do and will not join you tomorrow.  If next week is fine, we will take the Tai Tan Hiking Trail.
