Weekend February 4-5: Camping at Kau Ling
Chung
Led by: Pekka Tel: 68921870 Email:
pekka@runningfatguy.com
Meet: 11:30 am at the Central Ferry Piers for the 11:50 ferry to
Mui Wo
Walking Time: Overnight stay
Description: We’ll take a bus to Shek Pik Reservoir where we will
start our (reasonably) short walk to the camping site. We’ll set up camp
at Kau Ling Chung and while some will stay at the camp, others may make
some excursions to see the landmark sights nearby like “the Obelisk”, the
Fan Lau Fort, or some old village ruins. The camping site features a very
nice beach too and those brave enough to enter the cool waters may do so.
Expect no electricity or running water. All participants must either have
their own tent or be assigned to one with room left. Decent sleeping bag
is mandatory as night-time temperatures might get quite cold. If the
weather doesn’t seem good for the weekend, we will postpone the camping
and do a normal Sunday hike instead. The back-up camping weekend is Feb
25-26. Check here for updates (decision is made latest on Wednesday, Feb
2nd)! All those who wish to join, please contact me
at
pekka@runningfatguy.com. You MUST sign up
for this in advance so I can make the necessary plans and arrangements.
I’m limiting the number of participants to about 10 people. Thank you!

Hiking Recommendations
Please always bring plenty of water, sun protection and a snack. Also, in
very bad
weather or high air pollution, the hike may be cancelled. If in doubt call
the hike leader. It if rains, we usually go anyway although we may
change the route.
Note that whatever the actual walking time, with travel and eating a meal afterwards, these hikes usually end up taking most of the day so don't expect to be back home until late afternoon/early evening unless specifically mentioned!!
