October 27th: Lung Mun Country Trail

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 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.
