10th March: HKU to Pokfulam Reservoir to Peak

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 humid, cloudy with a bit of rain tomorrow.   This is a route we have taken several times before.  We walk from HKU  VC Lodge, up Po Shan Road , Hatton Road , take the side road at Lung Fu Shan, towards Pokfulam Reservoir, and after going down to Pokfulam Reservoir, we walk up to the Peak.  From there, we can if we want to, walk down to HKU again via Hatton Road, go around the Peak , or take the bus to Wanchai or Central.  If weather is bad, we can exit early at Pokfulam Reservoir without going up the Peak.  

The route is part earth and stone, part concrete.   Please bring rain gear, sun gear, walking stick, and water.

Meeting time:  9:15am

Meeting place:  MTR HKU Station Exit A2   or VC Lodge  

If you are walking up from the MTR Station, opposite the Graduate House, you can go off the car road to take the parallel pedestrian road under the trees on your right.

Next Friday's forecast is for similar weather.  If it clears up, we can take the Olympic Trail on Lantao.
