2019 JAN 25, Friday: WU KAU TANG to 三椏村

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.

HIKING DATE: 25 Jan 2019, Friday

Weather Forecast: Fine and Dry, T 16-21; H 55-80%; NE force 4.

HIKING ROUTE: From WU KAU TANG 烏蛟騰car park 
to SAM A TSUEN 三椏村, about 2.5 hours' walk,
to have sea food lunch and then walk back to car park.
The cost of sea food lunch around $250.

MEETING PLACE: WU KAU TANG car park.

MEETING TIME: 9.30am

Special Note: Our Hon. Treasurer Leo announced on 31.12.2018, "fridayhikers 儲備现存$1228,建議下次三椏村聚餐補貼$388."

Currently, we are aware that KM, Adrian, Katherine, KC, Clement and Canice(?) would drive to 烏蛟騰 and kindly agree to pick up passengers on the way. (In the past I knew of two pick up points on Kowloon side: Kowloon Tong MTR and 大美篤. Would fridayhiker-drivers please indicate your pick-up points and number of passengers!) My heartfelt thanks to our very helpful and considerate fridayhiker-drivers!

Interested Fridayhikers who will come hiking to Sam A Tsuen and have sea food lunch (reservation required), please reply in this blog to indicate that you are coming; and approach individual drivers if you want details.
May I request the help of Rita and John, who live in Tai Po to help check mini-bus schedule from Tai Po to 大尾篤 and 烏蛟騰. Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
S.S.
P.S. I hope Clement will count me in as one of your passengers. Many thanks to you.

  19. Rita and John have told me they are now in Calgary, Canada. Janet, Hannah, Joseph and Clarence said they would not be able to join the 三椏村 hike. Simon is still considering.

    I guess that Jenny and Peggy have got the mini-bus schedule from 大埔 to 大美篤 and reach 大美篤 before 9.20am on Fri 25 Jan 2019.

  23. Thanks for all your replies.
    We have a total of 21 fridayhikers and spouses;l do hope that Adrian's wife will feel well to join us for our 三椏村hike and lunch.

    The boss and cook of 福利茶室 Mr Tsang said he would try to buy fresh sea food from fishing villages of 印洲塘 (上有蘇杭,下有印洲塘) and cook for us:
    1.白灼蝦
    2.手打墨魚丸
    3.粉絲扇背
    4.羗蔥蟹
    5.果皮鮑魚
    6.蒸海魚
    7.客家雞
    8.羊腩煲
    9.村菜薯苗
    還有羗疍炒飯,木桶豆腐花和番薯芋頭糖水。我現在想流水口啊!

    6 Fridayhiker-drivers:
    Adrian, (Alice, Leo, Grace, Jenny)
    Katherine, (Belinda)
    Clement, (Eric, Gerald, SS)
    Canice, (at 大美督; Simon, Peggy)
    Leo LAM, (Lilian)
    K.M. (Eddie, Pearl--l would like to request Eddie's help to Whatsapp KC to find a suitable spot for KM to pick up KC and Pamela near Kowloon Tong MTR.)
    如果用七駕車駛去烏郊騰,似乎是太不環保了!現在用少一駕!

    Pick up time and spot at 大美督: 9.20am,Friday 25 Jan 2018;
    Near 20C green Mini-bus Stop. All passengers are expected to arrive earlier than fridayhiker-drivers!

    See you all on 25 Jan!

    1. SS/Jenny/Canice

      As Canice is going to 大尾督 to pick up two hikers, Jenny may as well take Canice's car as well. If that is ok, my car can go direct to 烏胶騰car park?
