June 16th: Shing Mun Reservoir

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.

Dear Fridayhikers,
Due to the unstable weather conditions, the proposed boat trip will be postponed until further notice. Next Friday's forecast seems more promising.
Tomorrow's weather will still be unstable with showers and occasional thunderstorm. So we will take the familiar round-the-reservoir walk at Shing Mun: the concrete road if it is wet, and the trail around the reservoir if it is dry enough.
Please check the weather before you leave home tomorrow. If any of the heavy rainstorm warning or the thunderstorm warning is up by 8 am, the hike is automatically cancelled. If less than four people register for the hike, the hike is also cancelled.
Meeting time: 9:15 am
Meeting place: Exit B MTR Tsuen Wan Station
We will then walk to the minibus stop at Shiu Wo Street to take minibus No. 82 to Pineapple Dam.
Please feel free to wait at the minibus stop or at the Pineapple Dam, as you find most convenient. Just let others know by whatsapp.
Please bring plenty of water, rain gear and sunscreen.

June 9th: Victoria 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,
I started writing this notice for the Peak. Then I changed my mind as we seem to take this trail so often and decided to go to Kadoorie Farm. Then I saw the messages on the phone. It is to be the Peak then. One thing in favour is that if it becomes unbearably hot, we can exit any time and almost anywhere.
Routes to consider:
From HKU, walk up Hatton Road, round Lung Fu Shan to Pokfulam Reservoir. (1.5 hr)
From HKU, walk straight up to the Peak via the Morning Trail (Hatton Road) (1 hr)
From the Peak (Lugard Road) up Governor's Walk to Mount Austin Park and down to Peak Tram Station (1 hr)
From Pokfulam Reservoir up to the Peak. (1.25 hr.)
Lugard Road around the Peak (1 hr.)
We can take a combination of the above.
Meeting time: 9:30 am
Meeting place: The university entrance near the Robert Black College and the University Lodge. This entrance is at the intersection of Kotewall Road, Hatton Road and Po Shan Road.
Those who come by MTR can exit A2 at HKU Station. Look for University Drive and walk up University Drive to the top.
Just to make things complicated, there is an alternative but more comfortable way to come up to the meeting place. Take Exit B1 at Sai Ying Pun MTR Station. Right outside this exit on the street level is a minibus stop 45A. This minibus will take you up to our meeting place. Just tell the driver you want to get off at Hatton Road (克頓道香港大學).
When in trouble, whatsapp.
