Cloudy Hill & Nam Chung pools	about 12-14 km	6 hours	Low: 0m High: 500m

Last year just around this time we did a really mad hike. It was a really hot day and it was extremely exhausting, so much so that some trampers were already proposing to send out a contract on my name. We often talk about this hike or rather a lot of trampers often curse me about this hike so I say what the hell lets do it again.  So this weekend, we will explore the Nam Chung Pools area. There are lots of rock pools there so we will have a couple of nice opportunities for swimming.

We will meet at Tai Po Market KCR just near the ticket windows at 11.00 AM and share taxis to the start of the walk. The beginning of the walk is a short but steep climb up Cloudy Hill. From there we will continue on the Wilson Trail towards the Pat Sing Leng range but before we reach the main hills we will take the turn off for the Nam Chung area. We will sweat our way to the stream and it is an extremely tough hike especially if it is hot.

An umbrella is very handy to protect you from the sun. Come prepared for a very hard day out.

Please note in case of heavy rain we may choose to hike on another route.

Don't forget those swimmers. If in doubt on the morning of the walk, call 8209-0517. And remember -- don't be late! The usual ten minute waiting rule applies.

Remember to bring all the usual gear, in particular lots of water, torch, good shoes, lunch, rain gear, change of clothes and a hat.
