Happy New Year to all Fridayhikers ! 

Wishing you all a healthy, robust and energetic Year of the Dog !

Dear Fridayhikers,

Route for tomorrow:  Pacific Place - HK Park - Bowen Road - Brewin Path - Chatham Path - Barker Road - Hospital Path - Plantation Road - Peak Galleria.

For those of you who have not taken the route before, this link will give you a map and more details  -  https://hkfiles.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/new-route-easy-hike-to-the-peak-from-centraladmiralty-via-the-central-green-trail/

If it should be very wet tomorrow, we will not take the green trail as it may be slippery.  Instead we will walk from Admiralty to Hatton Road and walk up via Lung Fu Shan.  

It is an upward climb all the way to the Peak of course but if the weather is clear, it offers a nice view over the harbour.  The walk up will take about an hour depending on the humidity.  Once on the peak, we will take the circular walk on Lugard Road and then decide how we want to go down. 

Meeting point:   Pacific Place (at the bottom of the escalator which goes to HK Park)  near Chartered Bank ATM

Meeting time:  9:15 am   Please try to be punctual.   

Bring water, stick, rain gear, sun gear, etc. according to your needs.
