Dear Fridayhikers,

It should be good hiking weather this Friday.  We will walk from Yung Shue O to Pak Sha O via Sham Wan this Friday.  We will take a taxi from Sai Kung to Yung Shue O where we will assemble with others coming from Ma On Shan. The walk is about 3.5 hours.  We will then take the Hoi Ha minibus out to Sai Kung.

Please bring enough water and some snacks as needed. 


Meeting time:  9 am (Sai Kung taxi stand)

Meeting time:  about 9.20 am (Yung Shue O)


Please indicate whether you will be meeting at Sai Kung so we can group up for taxis.
