Meeting place : Sheung Shui MTR Station ( Customer service / Ticket office on upper floor )
Meeting time : 11:00 am
After walking through the former border line of the closed area at Sha Tau Kok last week, this Sunday, February 26th, we decide to walk further in this previous border zone, to explore those hidden villages as well as the abandoned mining field where we may discover some precious metals such as gold, platinum . .. Then it becomes a "Bonanza" of Hong Kong. Meanwhile, according to trampers' policy, no one is allowed to take away any stones or picking any plants during the walk :-(
We will finish the walk at Ta Kwu Ling via Pak Kung Au, Lin Ma Hang and take the bus back to Fanling MTR or Sheung Shui MTR Station.
Bushwalking will be involved, so please show up in full gear with 2 litres of water, lunch, snacks, gloves, headlight and rain wear but no cigarette. If it is raining hard or thunderstorms are threatening, the walk may be cancelled. If in doubt, call the trampers hotline 8209-0517 in the morning.

The idea of a night walk comes from a bittersweet experience --- see the walk report for the walk on 28th May 2006. It will be a real night walk, and my initial idea is that we'll meet at 12.15am
