*excludes travelling time

1.   As it is getting hot and humid, we'll do a less strenuous walk this Sunday, 17th May 2009

2.   The plan is that we'll meet at 11.30 am at the Customer Services Centre cum Ticketing Office inside the Sha Tin Wai MTR Station (Ma On Shan Line) and walk up to near Shatin Pass, and from there on to near Tate's Pass.  From near Tate's Pass a decision will be made whether we'll walk to Fei Ngo Shan via Tung Shan and Cheung Shan, or to Nam Shan Mei.  In any event we'll end the walk near Ngau Chi Wan in east Kowloon where all sorts of public transport are available for a quick return home.

3.   Bring all the usual things, a lunch, enough water, a torch, sun block, mos spray and if weather looks dodgy, rain gear.

4.   If it is raining hard or thunderstorms are threatening, the walk might be cancelled.  If in doubt, call the trampers hotline 8209-0517 in the morning.

Note:-  

(1) Please note that this walk and any other walks organised by me may finish late due to a host of different reasons.  The duration given on top of this walk proposal is only a rough estimate.  We may have to walk longer than the estimated time and so there is a possibility that we'll walk in the dark (i.e. after sunset).  It is prudent that you bring a small torch with you to this walk.

(2) The following people should not join this walk, and indeed any walk that I organise:- 

(a) those who do not want to take any/little risk in outdoor activities e.g. being lost and stranded in the mountains,

(b) those who would grumble about things that do not turn out the way they want them to.

Disclaimer:- People join this walk and any other walks organised by me at their own risks.  I shall not be held responsible in any way for any injury or death incurred or any loss or damage to personal property caused due to whatever causes including, but not limited to, negligence, neglect, errors of judgement and inadequate orientation skills on my part.  The fact that you show up at the time and place on the day to join the walk is an implication that you have agreed to and accepted unconditionally this disclaimer.
