Dear Fridayhikers,

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.   We will start from the Pineapple Dam of Shing Mun Reservoir as the gradient is less steep.

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

Meeting time:  9:00 am

Meeting place:  MTR Tsuen Wan Station Exit B (we will then walk to the minibus stop)

Those of you who want to go direct to the Pineapple Dam, please gather there and we will start off together.

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

After a long summer of adventurous trails, I hope you will not be dissatisfied with going back to old trails.  The first old trail for this Friday is the Dragon's Back trail, starting at To Dei Wan and finishing at Siu Sai Wan.   Estimated walking time is about 3 hours depending on how hot/cool it will be on Friday.

Meeting time:  9 am

Meeting place:  No. 9 Bus Stop  (Shaukiwan Bus Terminal)  MTR Shaukiwan Station Exit A3

There is a public washroom near the bus terminal and a primitive one at the start of the trail.

Please bring walking stick, sun screen, rain gear and plenty of water.
