spacer 06 05 04 03 02 01 spacer   TUNG YEUNG SHAN EXPLORATION DATE: 06.04.2016 Decided to head up to Tung Yeung Shan in the wet, misty weather and explore some overgrown trails. Some nice steep climbs in rainforest like trails before improvising a route to a contour trail and then walking through countless spiders' webs along an awkward contour trail. If spiders' webs really are good for your skin I'm gonna look amazing tomorrow!!! spacer   WILD_RUN #12: LOVELY LUK KENG DATE: 27.03.2016 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. Well ...I promised everyone scratched legs!!! Starting from Luk Keng we followed overgrown ups and downs, passing a mysterious hollow to Tiu Tang Lung. After a VERY overgrown descent to Kop Tong we passed Lai Chi Wo, So Lo Pun and Yung Shue Au before reaching Shek Nga Tau for calm sunset. spacer   WILD_RUN #11: MAGNIFICENT MA ON SHAN DATE: 12.03.2016 I ledthis run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. We started from Wu Kai Sha and followed an extremely steep path up towards Ma On Shan. The conditions were, wet, misty, windy and cold but we got to the summit eventually. Running down to MacLehose 4 we continued to Sha Tin Pass as sunset turned to night before hitting a dai pai dong. spacer   SOCIAL_RUN #10: SHING MUN TO FO TAN DATE: 10.01.2016 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. We started from Shing Mun Reservoir and climbed the Lung Mun Country Trail before taking a diversion to Tai Shing Stream and following the path to Lead Mine Pass. Then came the gorgeous helicopter path before a steep climb and descent to Fo Tan for delicious roast pigeon!! spacer   WILD_RUN #09: BEAUTIFUL BUFFALO HILL DATE: 04.04.2015 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. The yearly Buffalo Hill run was brilliant as ever. We started by climbing Tung Yeung Shan. After the long descent we ran to Kai Ham and took the gorgeous old village path up to Tai No. From here came an overgrown, bamboo filled climb to Buffalo Hill. Then West Buffalo Hill and down for food. Great!!! spacer   TAI CHAM KOI & TAI MUN SHAN ROUGH DATE: 30.03.2015 Myself and JY decided to explore some unsignposted paths in Sai Kung. First came a spidery climb to Tai Cham Koi. Then, briefly, the Luk Wu Country Trail before a series of hidden, adventurous paths towards Tai Mun Shan. We got lost several times! Finally a super steep path we hoped would end at Ham Tin beach but actually ended at Tai Long Au. A fun adventure! spacer   MACLEHOSE TRAIL STAGE 4 BLAST DATE: 29.03.2015 Stage 4 is one of the most rugged and technical stages of the 100km MacLehose Trail. It starts with the massive climb of Ma On Shan and then a few rocky undulations before a pleasant plateau. Then a descent to Mau Ping and a sustained climb to Buffalo Pass before more undulations to Gilwell Campsite. I tried to blast stage 4 to get the Strava CR. Did I get it??? spacer   SOCIAL_RUN #07: MUI WO TO PUI O DATE: 21.03.2015 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. From Mui Wo we followed Lantau Trail stage 12 backwards, having fun on the long descent to Chi Ma Wan Road. We then followed the Chi Ma Wan Country Trail for a while before descending to the coast, and passing Mong Tung beach on the way to Pui O. After resting, we ate at a dai pai dong in Mui Wo. spacer   ART_RUN #02: SHA TIN TO FOTANIAN DATE: 15.03.2015 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. The Fotanian is a great free art event in the industrial buildins of Fo Tan. To celebrate this we ran from Sha Tun up over Needle Hill and down to Shing Mun Reservoir. After this we followed the Shing Mun Jogging Trail for 2.5km before climbing a hidden path up and then down to Fo Tan for Fotanian art and fun food. spacer   SOCIAL_RUN #05: SHING MUN TO FO TAN DATE: 22.02.2015 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. On my return to Hong Kong I started with the same run I finished with last time. It really is a gorgeous route from Shing Mun taking the Lung Mun Country Trail before leaving to follow muddy green paths down to Lead Mine Pass. Now comes the Helicopter Path and a quick climb before delicious dai pai dong food. spacer   SOCIAL_RUN #03: SHING MUN TO FO TAN DATE: 10.05.2014 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. We started at Shing Mun Reservoir and initially followed the Lung Mun Country Trail before leaving it and following one of the gorgeous mud paths in the area. A slippery crossing of Tai Shing stream and gorgeous bamboo grove followed before some more gorgeous mud paths and food at Fo Tan. spacer   SOCIAL_RUN #02: MUI WO TO PUI O DATE: 03.05.2014 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. Social_Run was designed to relax, enjoy trails and chat with like minded trailrunners. Today was a really fun run. Starting from Mui Wo we followed Lantau Trail stage 12 backwards to the start of the Chi Ma Wan Country Trail. We followed this for a few km before returning via the coast to Pui O. spacer   TUNG YEUNG SHAN YEAH! DATE: 09.04.2014 A voluptuous period of weather. Thunderstorms and rain with occasional dryness. I took advantage of a gap in the clouds to run up Tung Yeung Shan and splash through puddles and forge through mist. Thinking about windfarms and mining uranium. One sustained interval running up the big 'ol hill but most of it this was just fun and reflection. No stress. spacer   WILD_RUN #08: BEAUTIFUL BUFFALO HILL DATE: 06.04.2014 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. Almost exactly one year from the first Wild_Run we celebrated by following the first ever route again. This begins with the climb of West Buffalo and Buffalo Hills before descending through an exciting bamboo grove to Kai Ham and climbing Tung Yeung Shan. It was very windy and rainy and really fun and exciting. spacer   MA LIU SHUI / FOOD / FROGGY DATE: 29.03.2014 Jean Yves and I decided to have a relaxing little stroll on the trails. This was preceded by a ferry trip of about 90 minutes from Ma Liu Shui to Chek Keng. After exploring some trails we headed down to Ham Tin beach and ate food at the Hoi Fung Srote. By now it was dark so we had a fun night hike through Check Keng and To Kwa Peng and finished at Wong Shek Pier. spacer   CHEUNG SHA WAN TO TAI WAI DATE: 26.03.2014 This run was led by Henry for the HK Hiking Meetup Group. We started at Cheung Sha Wan MTR and walked directly to the trailhead. From here it was a brisk climb up to MacLehose Trail stage 5. We followed the MacLehose backwards past Beacon Hill to the base of Lion Rock. After resting and chatting a bit we descended to Tai Wai for some delicious food. spacer   WILD_RUN #07: LOFTY LUI TA SHEK DATE: 25.01.2014 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. From Pak Tam Chung we ran on gorgeous sunlit trails before the eroded, steep climb of Lui Ta Shek. Then a VERY steep descent down to MacLehose 3 before an overgrown path and the climb of Shek Uk Shan. Enjoying our scratched legs we climbed Mount Hallowes and in the dark, finished at Hoi Ha. spacer   TSING LUNG TAU TO SHAM TSENG DATE: 02.01.2014 I mat Carsten at Tsing Lung Tau and we walked the KOTH Sham Tseng half marathon route. This is a gorgeous, runnable route with many shaded mud paths and lots of green. The route includes marked trails such as the Yuen Tun Country Trail and MacLehose and also really fun technical sections such as the descent from the MacLehose Trail to Sheung Tong village. spacer   LEAD MINE LOOP DATE: 15.12.2013 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. Lead Mine Loop is a really great test of trailrunning. It begins with the long, steep climb of Needle Hill. Followed by the long, more sustained climb to Grassy Hill. Then comes the plummet down to Lead Mine Pass, a gentle, fast downhill on a road and finally the 5km mud Shing Mun Jogging Trail. Race us on Strava! spacer   WILD_RUN #05: MAGNIFICENT MA ON SHAN DATE: 11.05.2013 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. We started from Wu Kai Sha MTR and followed a very steep, slippery path to the Hunch Backs (Ngau Ngak Shan). From here a delightful ridge to the peak of Ma On Shan, descending to MacLehose Trail stage 4 and enjoying a twilight run. At Shak Nga Pui we descended to Wong Nai Tau for food and beer. spacer   WILD_RUN #04: HAPPY HAM TIN DATE: 05.05.2013 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. Starting at Pak Tam Chung we followed a hidden, overgrown path to the top of Tai Cham Koi. Then a great undulating, technical path until eventually intersecting with the MacLehose Trail and visiting Sai Wan beach and Ham Tin beach for rest and snacks before running in the dusk and dark to Pak Tam Au. Lush. spacer   WILD_RUN #03: GORGEOUS GRASSY HILL DATE: 01.05.2013 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. Starting from Fo Tan MTR we followed a scretive, overgrown path to the top of Kau To Shan. After a fun, slippery decent we were soon climbing steeply to Grassy Hill. After this we descended briskly to Lead Mine Pass and ran along one of my favourite contour trails before descending to Fo Tan = food + BEEEEER!! spacer   NEEDLE HILL SUNSET DATE: 23.04.2013 Needle Hill offers a great view of Shing Mun Reservoir, Tai Mo Shan, Sha Tin and also Tsuen Wan. I love climbing this hill at sunset. It offers calm views and also a great challenge as a fun, fast climb. Climbing fast occasionally stopping out of breath to take photos. A great evening, philosophising silently at the top as sunset fadegalleryd to darkness. Gorgeous. spacer   WILD_RUN #02: LOVELY LUK KENG DATE: 20.04.2013 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. Three brave, intrepid explorers joined on some muddy, overgrown trails ultimately following the ridge to Tiu Tang Lung. Then the ultimate slippery, overgrown descent (they loved it!!) before emerging at Kop Tong village, through Lai Chi Wo and then small villages and following the coast back to Luk Keng. spacer   POETRY_RUN #01: JARDINE'S LOOKOUT DATE: 18.04.2013 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. This run was something a little bit different. I think nature and trailrunning inspire creativity in all of us. So we did a misty run over Jardine's Lookout and Mount Butler and then afterwards, shared some snacks and also read some poetry. It was a great night, and the misty weather also added to the theme. spacer   WILD_RUN #01: BEAUTIFUL BUFFALO HILL DATE: 14.04.2013 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. I decided to start leading a series of rugged and technical runs. One of the reasons I love trailrunning is to find and share hidden, unusual paths. Unsignposted, overgrown. Rugged. Steep descents. Quiet woodlands. Bamboo groves. Climbing hills at sunset. Calm. Exploring the countryside. Wild_Run was born. spacer   NEEDLE HILL NIGHTS DATE: 11.04.2013 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. On a rainy, windy day two brave souls decided to head into the hills. Myself and Giuseppe started at Sha Tin and climbed Needle Hill. We then splashed along the Shing Mun Jogging Trail before pushing through deliciously wet undergrowth. There then followed a contour trail, a climb, a descent and wine. spacer   SUNSET PEAK & LANTAU PEAK x2 DATE: 06.04.2013 I led this run for the HK Trailrunners Meetup Group. We were training for HK Stairmaster Race 1 This race climbs both Sunset Peak and Lantau Peak twice. At night. Brilliant!!! We started late afternoon and enjoyed climbing Sunset Peak at dusk. It was getting dark as we arrived at Lantau Peak, and the second time we climbed Lantau Peak it was dark. Great fun!!! spacer   SOUTH LANTAU COUNTRY TRAIL SUNSET DATE: 16.03.2013 The day of the Trans Lantau race. I started at Mui Wo on the beach watching some of the 50km runners finish and then headed onto the South Lantau Country Trail so that I could cheer on some of the runners who were coming in my direction at sunset. This trail has gorgeous views over the Lantau coast and as the sun slowly said goodnight all felt calm and idyllic. spacer   LAZY LAMMA EXPLORATION DATE: 17.02.2013 A fun little exploration of Lamma's paths. Starting off with some snacks (always a good idea) we took some off road paths before heading through a quarry on an idyllic, calm day. After this there came a hidden path to a gorgeous beach which has no name on Countryside Series maps and so must be called 'The Beach With No Name'. spacer spacer 05 04 03 02 01 spacer back to top
