Dear Fridayhikers,

The weather forecast for tomorrow is cloudy with showers.  I've picked a route which is basically level and paved (catchwater), with some footpath.

1.  We will start from Shek Kong Camp (Route Twisk) and walk to Ho Pui Reservoir via Tsing Tam Reservoir. 

2.  You can exit at Ho Pui Reservoir for the minibus (No. 71) to Yuen Long via Kam Sheung Road MTR. 

3.  You can walk on to Ma On Kong where you can take buses at the Tai lam Tunnel Interchange.


From Shek Kong to Ma On Kong, the walk is 11 km and 3.5 hours. 


Starting point:  Catchwater entrance opposite Shek Kong Camp

Meeting time:   9:15 am 

Meeting place:  72/72M minibus stop outside Exit C (Kam Sheung Road station, West Rail)  Please queue when you arrive.  



Minibus No. 72 goes from Yuen Long to Lui Kung Tin , stopping at MTR Kam Sheung Road Station.

Please bring water, rain gear, walking stick, sun protection.
