Friday 24th: Chek Keng

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,

The forecast for Friday is cloudy with a bit of sun and one or two showers.  The temperature climbs to 22.   I've chosen Chek Keng as it is paved and should not be slippery even if there is a bit of rain.  It is also relatively safe (from robbers) as it is away from the city.

Meeting time:  9 am (bus departs at 9:15)

Meeting place:  Village bus stop outside MacDonald's


Please queue for the village bus to Sai Wan Ting when you arrive.  You may try to be there early and use the toilets near the Sai Kung bus terminal.  There are just two primitive toilets at Sai Wan.

Halfway on the hike, we will lunch as usual at the little eatery on the beach.  The hike is estimated to take about 3.5 hours.  We can choose to walk up to Pak Tam Au for the bus or we can call a boat to take us to Wong Shek Pier when we reach the foot of the slope up to Pak Tam Au.

Please bring enough water, rain gear, sun gear, etc.

The hike is automatially cancelled if the thunderstorm or heavy rainstorm signal is up by 8 am, or if less than three hikers register.


Please enjoy your hike.  I cannot join you this week so see you in April.
