20th January: Lung Mun Country 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,

We did not take this trail last Friday because of weather so I'm posting the same blog notice again for this Friday.  The Lung Mun Country Trail goes from Chuen Lung to Shing Mun Reservoir Pineapple Dam.  It is 8 km and the hike will take 3.5 + hr.   You can start at either end but the gradient from Shing Mun Reservoir is less steep.

If you start at Pineapple Dam, walk up as usual until you reach "C3410".  Instead of continuing around the reservoir, you take a left turn and you will reach the Chuen Lung Country Trail.   Keep going west and at the end of the trail you will reach Chuen Lung village and come out to 荃錦公路. There you can either take the minibus or KMB 51 back to town.

Meeting time:  9:15 am

Meeting place:  MTR Tsuen Wan Station Exit B

Please bring enough water and snacks, sun gear and rain gear with you.

If less than three register for the hike, it will be automatically cancelled.

Please note also that next Friday will be Chinese New Year's eve and no hiking activity will be arranged.   Hiking will resume the Friday following.


I shall not be able to join the hiking tomorrow so I will see you all in the Year of the Rooster !
