Friday 16 November 2018 : HKU to Aberdeen

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.

HKU to aberdeen

In view of possible rain patches, we will take a route which offers more exit points.  We will start from Hatton Road up Lung Fu Shan Morning Trail.  A quarter of the way, we will take the path to the right which goes to Pokfulam Reservoir.  From the intersection there, we will walk on to Peel Rise which takes us to Aberdeen.   Apart from the initial uphill walk, the route winds around the hill and has a gentle gradient.   The walk takes about  3+ hours.

Meeting time:  9:15am

Meeting place:  HKU  entrance at  Kotewall Road (旭龢道)  (VC Lodge 校長宿舍)

[ To go to the meeting place, you may take MTR to HKU station (Exit A) and walk up University Drive to Kotewall Road. ]

Weather Forecast:  cloudy with a few rain patches, T24-26 H80-95

Bring rain gear, sun protection, and walking stick and plenty of water.

Should the thunderstorm warning or any of the rainstorm warning be announced at 8 am, the hike is automatically cancelled.
