Friday 9 November 2018 : 昂坪棧道 (昂坪360救援徑)

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.

昂坪棧道

興建昂坪纜車後，便出現了昂坪棧道(現正式名稱是昂坪360救援徑)，用作緊急救援道路，沿途是梯級、石徑及木板道。在東涌逸東邨出發，經過侯王宮，然後沿東澳古道行不久，便到達昂平棧道起點，慢慢行上山，經過其中一座纜車塔，向上望便看到一架一架的纜車走動，再踏上長長的木板道，全程上山路段需要體力，但可欣賞到逸東邨及香港國際機場、東涌一帶景色，也是值得，最後終點是昂坪市集。(length ~7km, estimated time ~3.5hr, elevation ~450m)  Will then take NLBus back to Tung Chung.

Meeting time:  9:00 am

Meeting place:  Tung Chung MTR Station Exit B  (will take NLBus 38 to 逸東邨)

Weather Forecast:  sunny periods, T21-25 H65-85

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.
