After the relatively easy three boot walk last week, let's do a nice section of hills in the New Territories. The first hill is ascended with the help of some ropes, nothing technical as such but steep and loads of fun. We did The Hunchbacks before but this is a different route.

  We'll  meet at 11.00 am on Sunday, Feb 17, 2008 at the Customer Services Counter/Ticket Office inside Heng On Station downstairs below the esacaltor. 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 the Hunchbacks and then continue on the ridge to Ma On Shan. From there we will descend down a few hundred metres and make our way in whatever directions that catches our fancy. Hopefully we will end up in 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.
