Wilson Stage 9: Pat Sin Leng (Eight Fairies Mountain Range)

Start: Take KCR to Fanling KCR.  Officially starts on top of Cloudy Hill but there's no way to get there so take a taxi to the start at Hok Tau reservoir.

End: Turn right and walk down to the road (around 30 mins) and then you can catch a bus or taxi (around HK$50) to Tai Po Market.

Time: 5 hours

Difficulty: A good workout. 1.5 hours climb up hill to start and then undulating, flat and finally downhill.  Beautiful views over Plover Cove Reservoir.  Shade for initial climb and then very exposed.  One for the winter.

Climbing the initial hill you slowly see more and more of Hok Tau Reservoir
