We will do a nice walk in Lantau this coming Sunday, April 22, 2007. There are several nice hills and not an ounce of concrete in the hills. What with the weather getting hotter and the maximum height for the day will be 490 metres so technically this will be a two booter. Basically, we will walk from Tai O to Tung Chung Road.
We will meet outside the turnstiles at Tung Chung MTR at 11.00 AM and take the bus to Tai O. This walk is about 15-18 kilometres and has a few good ascents. At the beginning, the trail is a relatively flat walk hugging the coast. Then we head inland and start hiking over the hills towards Man Cheung Po and further. Of course when we are in this part of the world it is imperative that we end the hike at Cheung Sha beach for a nice dinner at Stoep.
If it is raining or threatening to rain (thunderstorm warning), the walk will be cancelled. If in doubt on the morning of the walk, call 8209-0517. And remember -- don't be late! The ten minute waiting rule applies.
Remember to bring all the usual gear, in particular lots of water, good shoes and a hat. Also, bring some lunch for along the way. Bring along swimmers if you fancy a dip in the ocean.
