Hike 1 - Saturday 24 January - 9.30am - 5km - Gentle - Suitable for families

Hello Hiking families,

Let me get the ball rolling with a super gentle hike. It's suitable for families (not strollers) and - conveniently for me - goes right from my doorstep!


For the next hikes, it's up to you!


Hike leader: Rebecca Merrett - 9220 0851 - rebecca.merrett@nais.hk 

Starting location: Wellcome Supermarket, Marina Cove, Hirams Highway, Sai Kung
End location: Same as the start
Date: Saturday 24 January
Time: Can we meet at 9.30am in the carpark outside Wellcome.
Distance: 5.5km
Level: Suitable for families and dogs, but not strollers. 
Description: A really easy walk up the Ho Chung valley towards the Wilson Trail. Keener hikers can peel off onto the Wilson Trail or up onto the Maclehose Trail (section 4). 

Getting here: There is easy parking for cars, or drop-offs for taxis in the car park outside the Marina Cove car park. The 1A minibus goes from Choi Hung MTR to Sai Kung. The 101M goes from Hang Hau MTR to Sai Kung. On both mini-buses, please remember to jump off at the stop outside Marina Cove.


For all hikes, it would be really useful if you email or text (I'm on whatsapp) the Hike Leader in advance, or you can comment on this blog post (below).


We will wait at the starting location until 9.40am and then we're off! Call if you have any questions.


For non-Sai Kung families, if you want to make a day of it, its very easy to go into Sai Kung after this walk for lunch and a look around.
