All our walks are led by volunteers and are planned one week in advance.  If you don't see an itinerary on our homepage, that means no one has proposed anything yet.  And if one is not posted by Saturday, you can safely assume that there is no walk the following day.

We communicate via our website and we do not maintain a mailing list.

About the Hong Kong Trampers
A Brief History

Founders Tove, Geoff and Alan reunited We are a group of friends who enjoy exploring Hong Kong's countryside on Sundays.

We are not an organisation (in fact, we pride ourselves at having no organising at all!), so there's no membership scheme nor joining fee. Those interested in joining us on our walks need simply to show up at the meeting point on the day of the walk. Itinerary for the week's walk is usually posted onto the website by Saturday the latest.

We rate the level of difficulty of our walks by a count of boots, one being easy and three being demanding:

Our boot system
Wonder what a boot is?  See  explanation  of our boot system. Easy relaxed walking, usually along the flat or with a few low hills involved. Suitable for inexperienced hikers.

Requires endurance and not suitable for walkers who have difficulties in high places. 3 boots maybe allocated to a walk because of its length and/or because it involves elevations over 500 metres and/or tough walking. Not recommended for novice hikers.
