Saying Goodbye to Our Country Parks |
|
Written by Designing Hong Kong
|
The Chief Executive has referred the map of the
Clear Water Bay Country Park to the Country and Marine Parks Authority to excise
an area of 5 hectares for the extension of the South East New Territories
landfill.
The Board of the authority could have said no or recommended a
new area to be added under section 4 of the Country Park Ordinance (Cap. 208).
It did neither.
Instead, the Board spent its time reviewing the need for
the landfill extension and failed to ask for a compensation to protect the
country park.

Proposal for Night walk on 10th September 2006 |

Written by Francis

1. In light of the summer heat and humidity, I am proposing a Night Walk on 10th September 2006 (Sunday). The idea of a night walk comes from a bittersweet experience --- see the walk report for the walk on 28th May 2006. It will be a real night walk, and my initial idea is that we'll meet at 12.15am (no kidding, I mean 0015 hours in the morning) on Sunday10th September 2006 at Quarry Bay MTR station and start walking on the eastern part of Hong Kong Island. The walk will finish at around 7.00am in the Sunday morning.

Eureka! by Donna Elliot
Besides Neil and I, there are some 37 million others who call California “home”. This makes it the USA’s largest State by population. However, because of its physical size (770 miles long and 250 miles wide at its most distant points) and the concentration of population in small areas, there are wilderness areas where people rarely tread. So, although there are plenty of people in the cities, we and our tent were completely alone at Budd Lake in Yosemite and Dade Lake in the Sierra Nevada’s. Cool…

I have made 3 or 4 treks with the Trampers, and I have fond memories. I was reading the Wikipedia article about "Tramper" and thought that your web site would be an excellent reference, so I included it. See this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramper Hope to see you again soon, B Morch San Diego, CA.... USA |
