⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In response to suggestions made by some fridayhikers who went to 香港千島湖 without going to 流浮山 for sea food lunch, coming Friday's hike would likely finish before 12.15pm to enable fridayhikers to have lunch around lpm at 流浮山。

Next Friday, 28 July, we plan to go to 潭崗飛瀑。

Hiking Date: 21 July 2017, Friday.

Hiking Route:
Kap Lung Forest Trail and Ancient Trail,  to start from 雷公田 going uphill and downhill, with many tall trees in the area. A round circuit will bring us back to 雷公田, to take minibus 72 to 元朗，then bus K65 to 流浮山。

Meeting Time: 9am (Please be punctual as the bus runs at an hourly interval.) Very likely there are many hikers during the summer holiday.

Meeting Place: Tsuen Wan West, bus No.51 at Bus Terminal at basement.

Reminder: please bring plenty of water, some snacks, sunscreen, hiking sticks etc.

Many thanks to Michael who agrees to lead the way.

Cheers,

Time:  0900 hours
