MacLehose Stage 5: Gilwell Campsite to Kowloon Reservoir (via Lion Rock)

Start:  Take MTR to Choi Hung. Take exit A and take a taxi to Gilwell Camp Site (you will need to point to it on the map).

End: From Kowloon reservoir, you can catch a bus or taxi to Cheung Sha Wan MTR or Mei Foo MTR.

Time: 3.5 hours

Difficulty: Difficult but beautiful.  Starts with a big hill up and finishes with a long downhill. The detour to the top of Lion Rock is worth it on a good day.
