*excludes travelling time

1.  This Sunday, 22nd November, 2009 we'll do a two boot walk in the Ma On Shan Country Park. 

You must read the Notes and Disclaimer at the end of this walk proposal.

2.     We'll meet at 10.30a.m. at Exit C inside Diamond Hill MTR Station (Kwun Tong Line)

. 

3.     From urban Diamond Hill (about 50m), we'll try and find a way up the foothills of Tate's Cairn to Tiu Tso Ngam, a point on the MacLehose Trail mid-way between Lion Rock and Tate's Cairn.  From Tiu Tso Ngam we'll press on to Kwun Yam Shan and further on in a northereasterly direction to Shek Nga Pui (about 550m) via Mau Tso Ngam.  From Shek Nga Pui, we'll turn and walk a south-easterly direction downhill to Kai Ham, a hamlet on the western fringe of Sai Kung.  From Kai Ham we'll take a minibus to Hiram Highway where transport is easy to either Sai Kung Town Centre or back to east Kowloon.

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

5.   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) Please note that I am a volunteer and so you cannot and should not expect me to do everything in the walk.  During the walk I may ask you to help out in chores e.g. to do a headcount of the group.  If you are not prepared to help out in chores like this, please do not join this walk.

         (3) 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.
