Friday 9 August 2019 : Shing Mun Reservoir

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.

(Last week, because of unstable weather conditions, we had decided at the Pineapple Dam to take an alternative route - the Shing Mun Catchwater Walk to 川龍, instead of the planned around the reservoir route.)

Shing Mun Reservoir

Will take minibus to the Pineapple Dam and start the walk around the reservoir there. Depending on weather conditions, can either take the dirty track or the paved road if it gets rainy.  Estimated time 3+ hours.

Meeting time:  9:30 am

Meeting place: Tsuen Wan MTR Exit B (then take minibus to Pineapple Dam)

Weather Forecast: very hot with haze, a few showers and squally thunderstorms, sunny periods during the day,  T28-34  H60-95

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

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