Robin's nest etc etc etc	about 18 km	7 hours	Low: 0m High: 500+m

This is the first hike of the "thon" series and is a full on three boot hike with plenty of bushwhacking and wrong turns. We shall try our best to make it long, tough and difficult so please come prepared.

We will meet outside the turnstiles at Fan Ling KCR at 10.30 AM near the 7 Eleven store and then take taxis to the starting point or maybe a minibus.  We will try and find a new a steep path up Robin's nest and from there foray into forbidden territory for as long as possible and then head back to the main summit  After that a short concrete path going downhill will lead us to a very nice village. From here on the first 100 odd metres is one hell of a bushwhack and leads to a gorgeous path on a ridge to the summit of Ngam Tau Shan.

Do wear long pants and definitely carry some energy bars. We will end the hike at our favorite Thai restaurant in Tai Mei Tuk.

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.
