MacLehose Stage 8: Lead Mine Pass to Twisk

Start:  I prefer walking this backwards as you can get more public transport that way. Take MTR to Tsuen Wan.  Then taxi to Tai Mo Shan.   The taxi should be able to take you up most of the hill.End:  You have a choice. You can walk downhill to Tai Po on Wilson stage 7 or walk the flat pineapple dam trail on the west of Shing Mun reservoir or  walk MacLehose section 6 up a hill on the east of the reservoir.Time: 4 hours + at least 1.5 hours more walking to get on/off the trails.Difficulty:
