Ma On Shan & Buffalo Hills	about 14 km	6 hours	Low: 0m High: 702m

We continue on the next leg of the "Summit Series" and we will do six hills in the New Territories on this coming Sunday. Now you might be tempted to think that last week was nine hills so this week should be easier .... Hmmm well if you feel that way then you just need to come for the hike and check for yourself!!

We'll  meet at 11.00 am on Sunday, Nov 4, 2007 at the Customer Services Counter/Ticket Office inside Heng On Station. For Heng On station we need to switch trains at the Tai Wai KCRC station to the Ma On Shan line and expect a travel time of about 30 - 40 minutes from Kowloon Tong.  We will get a taxi from here to the Ma On Shan Country Park BBQ site to start the walk.  The first section is very steep and loads of fun. We will first climb up Ma On Shan and then continue on the ridge to the next two hills i.e. The Hunchbacks. From there we will descend down a few hundred metres and make our way up Pyramid Hill. After that we continue on the MacLehose Trail to do Buffalo Hills 1 & 2. We will then retrace our steps a bit and go to Sai Kung for a nice meal.

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. The ten minute waiting rule applies and remember not to be late!

Bring all the usual gear, in particular lots of water, good shoes, a torch and a hat. Also, bring some lunch for along the way.
