HIKE DETAILS: We started the day at Fo Tan and soon took the first hidden turning to climb an overgrown, muddy, green path to Kau To Shan. There then followed a slippery, technical descent before we walked through a lovely woodland before once again climbing steeply to Grassy Hill. There we met some incredibly inquisitive cows before heading home. What a fun, relaxing day! |

HIKE DETAILS: I started from Tung Tsz and climbed to Wong Leng. The route starts off overgrown and lush green and becomes rugged, stark and very steep near the top. My idea of a perfect trail! I then followed the ridge near Pat Sin Leng, which had been devastated by fire but, being optimistic, I tried to appreciate the dramatic scenery. I then went down to Chai Kek and climbed Cloudy Hill. Fun! |

HIKE DETAILS: We started quite late from Mui Wo and enjoyed the late afternoon sun whilst climbing Lantau Trail stage 12. The tree lined mud paths are calm and gorgeous. After arriving at Chi Ma Wan Road some of us headed to Pui O beach whilst the rest ejoyed an amazing, twilight walk around Chi Ma Wan peninsula and slowly watched the sun set, before enjoying food at Pui O. |

HIKE DETAILS: The north east new territories is considered a remote area of Hong Kong, and it contains many scenic areas. We started our walk at Bride's Pool and then walked past Wu Kau Tang to Sam A Tsuen village. From here we headed to Lai Chi Wo with its mangrove peninsula and lovely old village square. All that was left now was one final climb before returning to Wu Kau Tang. |

HIKE DETAILS: First day of the year of the rabibt so Frank, Marcel, Carsten and I decided to hop onto the hiking trails. Starting from the peak we took some easy paths before taking an over grown trail to High West and then an overgrown path steeply down to the Hong Kong Trail. There now followed some classic contour trails interspersed with some off-route exciting challenges. |

HIKE DETAILS: A lovely day, and I took on some wonderful, technical paths. Climbed an overgrown track from Chuen Lung to Tai Mo Shan and then relaxed a bit and took some photos. Then headed to MacLehose Trail stage 8 for a relaxing interlude before fulfilling my predilection for tricky paths by bombing down to Ta Tit Yan on an overgrown beast. Scratched legs have never felt this good! |

HIKE DETAILS: Oh yeah, we love overgrown paths and steep ups and downs. We started at Wong Nai Tau and climbed an overgrown trail to the top of Buffalo Hill before a slippery descent. Full of enthusiasm we continued to Kai Ham before the sustained and monumental climb of Tung Yeung Shan. We then took a slippery path to the MacLehose Trail before heading home happy! |

HIKE DETAILS: A strange hike really. Things started out a little dour and overcast and the hike was becoming not quite a boring trudge but the nearest thing to it. Until .... the sun came out, the weather became amazing and the views cleared up. Walking from Tung Chung to Tai O with a few detours the last few kilometres and the ferry ride home were truly spectacular. Oh yeah!! |

HIKE DETAILS: Finally a nice(ish) day again. Met Shevaun and explored some overgrown trails around Ma On Shan Country Park. This included many steep and slippery mud paths, a bamboo grove with a plethora of spiders webs, old village rock paths covered in moss and finally a quick spint up Tung Yeung Shan just to get the legs moving again after all this rain!! |

HIKE DETAILS: Half easy, half hard. Myself, JY and Carsten started at San Uk Ka and followed the Wilson Trail to Lead Mine Pass (every path seems to lead there somehow). There then followed some lovely contour trails before a steep climb indicated the beginning of the hard second half which included overgrown paths and a steep, slippery descent ending in a very steep final section. Nice! |

HIKE DETAILS: After worrying it might rain the weather was overcast, atmospheric and just the right temperature. We started at Shing Mun Reservoir and followed some clear trails until democratically choosing to take the overgrown 'jungle trail' to a clear but lovely contour path. We kept up a pretty good pace and from here almost ran down to San Uk Ka to eat and relax. |

HIKE DETAILS: I met Hans-Peter and Claudia at Pak Tam Chung and we followed some lovely, slightly overgrown mud trails in the eerie mist up to Tai Cham Koi. We then followed a ridge trail before climbing Lo Tei Tun. Now things became decidedly more tehnical, overgrown and steep than we anticipated. After pushing through to Sai Wan we headed to Ham Tin and took a boat to Sai Kung. |
