Bring water and snacks. We will have early lunch on the boat (instant noodles or bring your own lunch) to save time.
   

How was hiking trip 00#1?Great turn out of 12 people (glad to see some new faces). We decided that it would take too long to complete the Fan Lau route, so we went to Tai O and walked towards a garden called 'Lung Chai' and a waterfall called 'man cheung' (ten thousand yards). The weather was cool and the walk was enjoyable, though the steep accent at the beginning proved to be very challenging for some. We took a break at the top of the waterfall to have snacks and drinks which was very relaxing indeed. We made use of almost all forms of transportation such as ferry, bus, and MTR (Tung Chung to central).
 
 

Hiking trip 00#02 Sunday 13 Feb 10:30am Dragon's Back (late lunch at Shek O ~1:30pm)

Meeting place: Hang Seng Bank, Shaukeiwan MTR station

Dragon's Back is the ridge of a mountain and thus provides a very clear and beautiful view of both side of the mountain.

Details: 10km, ~2 1/2 hours, very gentle walk. From To Tei Wan, through Dragon's back to Tai Tam Gap, take a look at the Rock Carving before heading to Shek O for lunch. Beautiful views guaranteed. Please bring some snacks and water with you.
 
 

How was Hiking trip 00#02 Feb 13 Sunday Dragon's Back?

16 people turned up on Feb 13. The temperature was fine, but the first section was very windy, it got better towards the 2nd half. The view was absolutely fabulous. We got to Tai Long Wan a little bit later than we planned and 10 people went ahead to have lunch at Shek O. Unfortunately, I had to go back to the office and could not join the group for lunch.

How was Hiking trip 00#03 April 9 Rediscovering the Discovery Bay?
7 people turned up. It was a beautiful day as we slowly pathed our way towards Silvermine bay. We saw some interesting religious gathering near the missionary. We tried out the famious missionary brand milk which was very refreshing. At the end of the walk, we relaxed and had drinks at a hotel by the beach. We took the ferry back to Central and sat on the top deck with open top and very nice view and gentle breeze.

Hiking trip 00#04 Sunday May 7 Tung Chung -> Wong Lung Country Trail -> Sunset Peak
The track was moderately difficult which means a lot of exercise. Jackie led our way from Tung Chung to Wong Lung Country Trail to Sunset Peak and back to Tung Chung. The initial path was a tough climb and it got easier as we went along. The weather was pretty decent.
