Lantau Peak	about 11 km	6 hours	Low: 0m High: 950m

This isi an extremely tough hike on a steep ridge only suitable for experienced hikers wearing proper hiking shoes and not afraid of heights.

This sunday, we will meet at 10:30am at Tung Chung MTR Exit A and take the bus to the start of the hike at Shek Pik Reservoir.

We will take the chance to explore South Lantau. The hike will start near Shek Pik Reservoir, and take the Kau nga Ling West, and head up to Lantau Peak. After conquering Kau Nga Ling and Lantau Peak, we will head down to the Saddle then  Nam Shan Country Trail and end the hike in Mui wo.

The first 2 hours will be a tough hike, come prepared and bring all the necessary from the Trampers Rucksack especially plenty of water and an adventurous spirit. After Lantau Peak the trail down to the Saddle will be easy and all flat all the way to Mui Wo. This will be a 3 boots hike and only for experience hikers. If the fog turns out to be heavy and visiblity is low on sunday morning, we might take an alternative route.

The Trampers disclaimer will be applied for this walk.
